Good experience there. Food is reasonably priced for a restaurant tagged as "French". Bistro type dishes, well executed. Every time I goes there is seems to improve. I like also how more and more of their staff is french, which for me is one basic requirement for a french restaurant to be able to roder my food 'en francais'.

Woderful restaurant. Their slogan, "the affordable french restaurant" fits perfectly. The chateaubriand was marvelous. If you want fast service go to McDonalds. If you want to dine like civilized people come here.

This is a good deal, especially for Denver. Mussels are the specialty and the best value, but the pate & agneau were also good. Good wines too. The "House Wine Discount" is a great deal if you are dining alone or with teetotalers. The portion size on the $5.95 pate was HUGE and quality was good. Real Paris espresso. Bottom line Overall.... definitely worth the trip. Make a reservation.

Best (country) French restaurant around. The food preparation is influenced by the south of France, known for it's mussel dishes, appetizers, lamb , fresh sea food, and a bouillabaisse that is only equaled in Ax Provence. Wait staff is courteous, friendly and helpful, use your French, they all speak it fluently. Make sure to make reservations, the weekends are busy. The wine list is probably the best priced group of French wine anywhere!! I have to say I use this restaurant as a barometer in grading all the other restaurants that I have dined at for the last fifteen plus years. The service is typical of the French, they are not in a hurry!!! So if you want fast service, then this is not your type of restaurant, However if it is atmosphere and ambiance that if you closed your eyes you would think you were in countryside restaurant in the south of France.It in my humble opinion the very best value in this or anywhere else I have traveled (qualifying that statement French c ... more

This is a quaint little French restaurant that offers a variety of different foods. The service here is slow, but the atmosphere and food are worth the wait. So sit back, order a bottle of wine, and enjpy some good conversation while you wait. The best deal is on Sundays when they offer brunch till 2:00 pm. It is the best Fench toast in town!

Good lunch menu. A good variety to satisfy almost any appetite. The services, however, was slow. Had to wait 30 minutes for food when the resturant was fairly empty.

Just tried this place after reading all the raves. I was very disappointed--spoiled by recent success? We made 8:00 reservations and were finally seated at 8:30. Ordered blackened halibut, which was cooked waaaaay too long, served alongside just-got-back-from-Costco-looking vegetables with a nasty, chalky cheese-type sauce all over it. Tables were packed in together, the waiting area is too small, and the staff completely overwhelmed. The mussels weren't bad, but stay away from the cold and dry fries alongside. Not just bad food--it was old food.
