Do *NOT* go here for brunch on a Saturday — especially if you are in a group of more than 2 people and you expect to get out in less than 2 hours! I invited 5 friends for brunch on a Saturday to celebrate my birthday. It was a horrible experience in terms of the service we received.

I love this place, but for the location. Downtown Gainesville is … difficult at times.

This restaurant is wonderful. Truly wonderful. The food quality is fantastic and the ingredients are well sourced, the staff are kind and attentive, and the restaurant has a unique feel to it. It stems from the care from employees and management and the want to convey this to customers. It’s a true mini piece of France in the heart of downtown Gainesville!

What a great little place to have a bite to eat and a glass of wine. We are never disappointed when we eat here. The food is delicious. My only wish is that they would have some soft things on the wall or floor to absorb some sound. It can get pretty loud with all the hard surfaces.

Genuine French-Swiss small restaurant and bar. Love the relaxing atmosphere to chill out after work and enjoy a great dinner. They always have daily specials to enjoy.

Casual French fare in downtown Gainesville. The ambiance was perfect. The atmosphere was electric. Service was pleasant and professional. I will definitely return to eat there again. I look forward to the chocolate mousse and/or creme brulee.

This place is so delicious it’s honestly obscene. There is incredible care put into every component of your dining experience, from the wine pairings to the dough itself. Highly recommend venturing out to try their daily specials, the special tart and dessert were beyond delicious!

Wonderful food in a quirky setting. The music was a little loud, would have preferred to sit outside due to that- but no complaints on the service or quality! Will return to try the soups and desserts.

The food here is SO amazing. It is a small menu (unless you come on Saturday when the crepes are around), but all of it is delicious. Saturday brunch is personally my favorite.

Food was delicious! Great service! The venue had outside and inside seating. With a threat of rainwear moved inside….but the acoustics were SO loud it was a bit hard to talk. Maybe some absorbing acoustical tiles would help. A little disappointed to be charged $25 for bringing in a few special birthday cupcakes, especially given how much we were already spending on appetizers, drinks and dinners for six people. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our time.
