Food was excellent and the owner is very nice. I had the French onion soup which I highly recommend. The steak frites and shrimp risotto were also great!

It’s a great local establishment. Convenient location right on Solano where you can still before or after your meal. Friendly and prompt service. Good deal for the price. Terrific atmosphere.

Service was good, but the food was not. My husband and I came here for brunch and we thought with a 4.4 rating the food should be pretty decent. I got an omelette, and it was so burnt that the eggs were completely curdled and rubbery. The asparagus was watery and you could barely taste the dill which of course, was also burnt. Both our home fries were dry and tasted like they were made yesterday, when I asked if they had any creme fraiche (it is a French restaurant, right?) or even sour cream they looked at me like I was crazy. We both got English muffins because the toast options were very limited, they were stone cold, and definitely Thomas English muffins… oh and they weren’t even toasted, and they gave us rock hard butter to spread on it. Cool. I normally do not write bad reviews of places, but this was just exceptionally terrible. Could really tell they were cutting corners everywhere.

Flavor of the quiche Lorraine was great, but the crust was awful. Looked like it had been baked in a big pan, and had a soggy rubbery crust on the bottom of a rectangular portion of quiche. Disappointing for a French restaurant.

Not a great place for food, also somewhat bleak with its atmosphere. The waitress during our time there was so nice and very professional. The portions were very big but it wasn’t the place to visit in the area!

A quaint cafe in Albany California. Food was good and service was great. Ratatouille was little too tangy for me. Overall a nice experience.

We ordered fried calamari and stewed lamb and beef. Calamari was not bad but stewed meals were pretty plain and the sauce was very watery…

The food is good, out for my expectations. The waitress is very nice, a pretty young lady, she works quick and patience. The place is like ’70s style. Onion soup is very good, must try.

Have been here many times but decided to finally review. Good food and service. Had the steak frites, daube and mussels last time there. Steak was perfect and our 6 year old tore down the mussels. Love coming back here

A great dining experience! I have been coming to this restaurant since before the pandemic and I keep returning because of the good food and the friendly, kind staff. One of my local favorites!
