This restaurant is adorable and cozy. The food, including both savory and sweet crepes, was incredibly delicious! If you're in the mood for authentic French cuisine, this is the perfect spot. It's a small establishment, so it might not be able to accommodate larger groups like 10 people. Most tables are for 2 or 4 people. The service was a bit slow, but still deserving of 5 stars. The coffee was also excellent.

I adore this restaurant (now called Frog and Snail)! The food is always delicious, the interior is charming, and the prices are very reasonable. I could easily spend an afternoon here trying different dishes from the menu and listening to French music. This cozy cafe is a place I am looking forward to visiting again.

Lunch was lovely. The mussels were delicious. They were an appetizer but 3 of us shared and it was enough for us. The broth was perfect for sopping up with bread. So good you want to get every bit. The seared tuna Salade nicoise was huge even though we ordered the small. The Tuna was perfectly cooked as we're the vegetables . The French onion soup was just as it should be. Very good but it was between those mussels and my dessert crepes so it really was my be good and order something that counted as food before dessert. Crepes LaDiane with poached pears, lemon curd, candied walnuts and cream fraiche were just what I wanted. It wAs hard to choose because they all sounded good. The flavors and textures were well balanced and just sweet enough. I will definitely be back because there are so many things I want to try.

Sunday brunch savory crepes were very good. The small outdoor patio in the back has a cozy feel and the service was very friendly and enthusiastic.
