"Love, Love, LOVE this place!!! The bartender is amazingly awesome! Our server was super sweet! Kitchen staff are so creative, and also..... AMAZING!!!! The decor Is vintage chic, very clean washrooms, overall gorgeous little Bistro! Due to my extreme food sensitivities and allergies, the kitchen staff had a great time creating something new for me. The Mussels turned out amazing! All of our mains tasted incredible! Their feature was a sole fillet that had the most amazing sauce! Seriously, it was amazing! The duck breast melted in your mouth, Lamb tasted so good! Their steak was definitely tender and delicious! The Cassoulet was to die for!!! I just wanted to try everything on their menu. There were no gluten-free dessert options, but the kitchen staff made a wonderful & refreshing dessert of berries drizzled with honey and possibly basil. We sat outside on their covered and shielded patio. Outdoor heaters and every chair had a warm, fuzzy, soft blanket. Such a wonderful idea! We felt so relaxed, welcomed, and treated like royalty! The bartender had a great time inventing some drinks that were not on the menu. Sigh...... I am definitely going to miss this little gem, definitely making it a priority to always dine here when I'm in town. Definitely 5*+++ Reservations highly recommended here!"

"Tacoma area doesn't have really much to offer as far as French food but this place is exactly what is needed for the area in French cuisine. I am yet to have a meal that is not prepared very thoughtfully here. The service and atmosphere is also excellent. Only downside (but not for me) is that it's street parking. I'm from a large city so it does not particularly bother me as the food is very much worth it. Sit in the back garden area. They have cozy blankets for a rainy day and it's heated generously with overhead heat lamps and floor heaters!"

"Enjoyed brunch on a Saturday morning here. Arrived just before 10am and was able to be seated without a wait for 2. The service was great, friendly and positive. Food was great, definitely loved the pork belly eggs Benedict. Nice little cappuccino as well. It’s winter so they had the outdoor seating covered and temp was still nice but they had blankets on the chairs for those who need the extra warmth. Look forward to visiting again, especially during summer for the outdoor seating."

"Wonderful food and atmosphere. Service was astounding and they have so many great pastries! Definitely our new favorite brunch spot. Can't wait until spring so we can take advantage of their lovely patio!"
