This is the BEST restaurant I have eaten at in Connecticut!

I would like to underline outstanding staff working here. Our daughter is celiac and the staff went out of their way to make sure that everything on her plate is gluten free.

Paula Reynaga-Quintanilla
Had a great dinner experience. Place is small and cozy. Attention is A+, best french food I’ve had in the westchester-fairfield area. Appetizers, entrees, dessert and wine were all delicious. Will definitely come back, my new french restaurant in the area for sure!

It was a lovely food and wine experience, but the noise level isn’t good for anyone’s ears. Also, as a minority, what could be heard discussed even over the noise made the whole dining experience disappointing. It’s Greenwich, it’s classist, we shouldn’t have expected it to not carry over to the dining experience.

Great spot right in downtown Greenwich. Nice selection of full plates and appetizers. I had one of the specials, soft shelled crab on corn and my partner had the lobster Cobb salad, Both were great. Attentive service, and pretty quick

Terrific food and great service. Only complaint is that tables are too close together, feels like we’re on top of the other people. There was one diner that was creating a scene, and we were unfortunately way to close to hear their meltdown. There’s also a giant mirror on the left hand wall, being seated on the left side was a bit strange because I don’t really want to watch myself eat when I’m going out to dinner with someone else. The Cajun chicken was fantastic, and the fries were perfectly crispy.

Everything was as I expected…service terrific…food authentic and lovely. I love the atmosphere…orange walls are super. Also for once someone figured out how to spend money on noise canceling pieces in the ceiling. We could hear each other talk!! Happy birthday to me

I haven’t been to Greenwich in so long since I left in 1992. So it was definitely a treat to come back for a visit and stop at a bistro that I never tried. It did not disappoint. The plus was that I had my Mom and my sister with me. Food & service were both great. It is definitely a must go to French bistro.

Went last week to celebrate our anniversary. The experience was excellent. Delicious food, warm service, great ambiance and they even served us complimentary rose when they knew it was our anniversary. Highly recommend

Christine Yang
solid meal with a few misses… the foie platter was great and definitely our favorite! the steak frites was good but not cooked evenly- part of the steak was beyond well done while the rest was medium rare. ask for the peppercorn sauce with the steak! the Caesar salad was too anchovy for our taste, and my latte was very disappointing. the mussels were good, but not my favorite. overall, it is a solid spot with good food & friendly staff, but you have to know what to order.
