Great food and an excellent outdoor setting. We were able to make a reservation for an outdoor table and for a pleasant summer day, it was just perfect. Balmy and not too windy with some cute string lights. The food was all delicious and fresh. They gave us some fresh, warm bread to begin with and the butter was yum! We shared a appetiser: calamari and it was delicious. We ordered beef bourguignon and lobster risotto. Both were very well cooked and the taste was just top notch. Felt like we were transported back to France. Service was good. Friendly and the pacing was good (not rushing). Would definitely recommend this place!

We went there for dinner with friends from Chicago on a Saturday night. I love going to French restaurants when we get the chance, it can be pricey, but there are some dishes you can only get at French restaurants that I love. 2 of them are escargot and duck. While good they were a bit too salty so you couldn’t enjoy the flavor of the dishes. Their bread and kalamari were amazing and the fried polenta my wife got was rather good, but everything else I tried was average and when you are paying a premium you expect better than average. Another thing that kind of stood out to me was that the water was served at room temperature with no ice and I had to flag down my waiter for refills for my soda.

Excellent service and delicious food. We had the Calamars Fris for appetizer and La Boeuf Bourguignon & La Bouillabaisse for dinner. The Margo was also a fabulous drink! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Back Bay.

I grabbed an early dinner here as part of Boston Dines Out, and so had Le Foie Gras, Le Risotto, LA Poire, and the Something Sweet. All of it was wonderful! The restaurant was cozy and well kept, and the waitress was the perfect balance of being attentive without crowding the table. It started to get busy as I was heading out, so that’s something to keep in mind if you’re gonna go for a walk-in.

Great ambience and service, but the food was okay to good. The starting bread was warm and crusty and delicious. I tried the La Bouillabaisse (seafood stew) and Les Saint-Jacques (pan-seared scallops). The seafood stew was not that great but filling, and the scallops were excellent but really small in terms of portion-size. The dessert crepe was really really good!!

My boyfriend and I came here for an anniversary dinner and everything was top notch. The wine recommendation, the food, and the service were all absolutely incredible. We couldn’t stop talking about how we can’t wait to come back. Our highlights were the seared foie gras and both dessert tartes!!

Decided to check this restaurant out while walking through the street, I’m really glad we did. The staff were all very nice and the food was delicious (I had the angus steak). Apparently the menu changes every day which means that you’ll never get tired of the food. The food is all organic and my mom had a very good risotto made with sunflower seeds, all vegan.

First of all, the staff here are wonderful. Very friendly and accommodating. You will feel welcomed as soon as you walk up the steps. I arrived early so had a drink at the bar, and the bartender was very knowledgable about the wines by the glass. However, she was the lone bartender working on a busy Saturday night, and my friend had to wait quite long for her cocktail. Our food was okay. We both had the duck. My duck was not very hot (and yes, I know it was cooked rare) and some of the tougher tendons remained so it was hard to cut. The sauce was a forgettably sweet brown sauce. We passed on dessert. The room was so loud. There was a table of 6 young women in the center of the room, and they were so loud. Not the restaurant’s fault.
