I love eating here when we are in town, the food is delicious, I never had a bad plate. Friendly couple, it small but I love the cozy atmosphere, it my go to on my birthday

Came in to try this place on our anniversary weekend as my wife is European. Have driven by it for 5 years. We sat and ordered two appetizers (tomatoe soup and salmon/ herring platter) and drinks. We got our appetizers fairly quick but ended up waiting for and hour to get food. We were a two top table and other larger groups that got sat after us, got their food before we did. Service was slow but we think only one girl was working the front as cashier and waitress and bussing tables. We felt our bill was expensive for 2 people with 2 apps, 2 entrée and 3 drinks (2 beer, 1 soda) when accounting for the food taste and portions size. Sadly, we won't come back for another meal due to the value and time to get food. We had some higher hopes when we first sat down.

This hidden gem of a French restaurant may not have the most impressive exterior, but the chef truly masterfully crafts each dish. The service is welcoming and attentive, while the atmosphere is serene and classy. The chef even takes the time to check in with you, ensuring that his dishes meet your expectations—which they absolutely do, and even surpass them every time. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the desserts are no exception! Each dessert strikes the perfect balance of flavor, without being overpowering in spices or sweetness. The overall dining experience is undeniably five-star. We used to visit often before relocating out of state a few years ago, and during our recent week-long work trip, we knew we had to return. We were thrilled to find that we were not disappointed once again! If you’re seeking an exceptional fine dining experience with authentic French cuisine, this is the place to go. No other restaurant in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area can hold a candle to it. Enjoy!

This restaurant is fantastic! I tried the Beef Bourguignon, and it was bursting with flavor—so tender, and the vegetables were excellent. I'm surprised there isn't a waitlist to get in. I will definitely be back soon!
