We loved it when it was the old owner and now also the new owner from Capri. On a Friday night we arrived to a bit of a noisy upbeat full restaurant we had reservations and were seated at a window. We ordered a salad to shares, gnocchi appetizer with delicious cream sauce that you’ll want to save to dip your bread and French fries in. My main corse was moules and Frits. Partner had the stuffed pasta shells with sirloin etc. shared a desert pistachio cake on the lighter side. We were stuffed and everything was delicious. The server had suggested a great French Chablis. It quieted down towards the end of our meal. Yum we’ll go again

Service, from the maître d’, server and other waitstaff was enthusiastic and incredible. The busser assigned to our table was extremely attentive, and deserves to be recognized even more. She (and her coworkers) ensured that water was always filled, knew exactly when to help pack our leftovers, and was always there when needed. Together with our server, they made the meal such a delight.

A wonderful little French restaurant! Cute atmosphere and an intimate feel for dinner. Everything from the complimentary crostini with the carrot tapenade to the berries and profiteroles we all so good. Their cheese charcuterie board was wonderful with the best brie and Roquefort cheese! My husband enjoyed the baked beef tenderloin cannelloni.

Intimate French restaurant with carefully prepared dishes and extensive wine menu. Be sure to book in advance for this popular spot for those who enjoy French cuisine. Worth a splurge. Everything is rich and delicious tasting. We enjoyed our selection of wine from Joyce winery.

This was a divine experience. The restaurant is small but I never felt cramped in, despite there being quite a few other diners there. The food was delicious. I will be going back without a doubt.

All of the food was amazing. I highly recommend the pork cheek. It’s more tender than regular pork. I would go early, or make reservations long because they are often fully booked up around dinner time. The one time I successfully walked in, it was at 4 pm.

We stumbled across this place for dinner and it was fantastic! We love French food and hadn’t found too many French restaurants during our time in California so far so this was a real delight. The food was delicious and the place had a very homely vibe to it 🙂

Amazing restaurant on all fronts, featuring a stellar atmosphere with a nice “local café” feel. If you’re in the Monterey Bay Area, this place will satisfy you and any dietary restrictions you might bring with you. Note: this spot has great food, and even greater service, but I’d recommend making a reservation if you choose to dine here.
