Absolutely phenomenal experience! Our server, Marine, was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely cared for throughout the meal. Her energy and professionalism truly elevated the evening. The Provencale pasta was absolutely delicious, with flavors that stood out in every bite. It had a rich, satisfying taste that made it hard to put the fork down. Everything was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. Between the incredible service and the unforgettable dish, this was easily a five-star dining experience!

Met a colleague for a business meeting here. First time at this restaurant that had been recommended to me by a friend. It was the perfect place for not only a meeting, but for a meal. We arrived at 11:35am and so just missed the breakfast menu. However, the lunch menu was very good. We were able to order what we preferred for brunch. The atmosphere is relaxing and calm. The staff was very pleasant, accommodating, and checked on us frequently. The ham and cheese omelette and home potatoes were filling and had good flavors. The French onion soup was well made and true to taste. And the quiche was, as well. Good place for some French cuisine. One marker of a good restaurant is how well the bathrooms are maintained. The ones here have been remodeled and were very clean. This certainly influences how I view a place. Overall, a very nice local restaurant that has been there for 17 years, yet you wouldn’t know it. If you’re in the area, stop by and visit. I know I’ll be visiting again.

This is the best French restaurant I have been to (outside of those actually in France) for so many reasons. The food itself is not only authentic but also so very delicious, and the menu boasts a wide array of options. The servers are kind and attentive, and the owner himself is in fact French and very present in the workings of his establishment. Some of the dishes can definitely be somewhat pricey, but completely worth it for the quality of, care put into, and authenticity within each dish. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and am excited to return in the future!

I am a breakfast lover, and this is my go-to breakfast spot in the Fort Lauderdale-Wilton Manors-Oakland Park area. Friendly service that is fast if you want it, or slow if you prefer a French-timed meal with no rush. Excellent, fresh good food made from scratch - no other place compares. Incredible baked goods. Get the steak and eggs, you won't be disappointed!

This is a beautiful restaurant and bakery. We arrived for a very late lunch and tried the French Dip and the Buffalo Chicken sandwich both served with fries. Oh man, the bread is to die for and the cheese is so good! Every bite brought flavor! The fries are the best in the area. Cannot wait to come back and try other menu items. The staff members were friendly and helpful even though we showed up 45 minutes before they closed their doors.
