"“The energy is so good here, it hugs you”. Love this place, can’t help but visit once a week."

"Food was overcooked, which resulted in a tough exterior of the duck, making it difficult to eat. Butternut Squash was creamy and delicious. Bread was perfectly toasted with butter. Beet salad was so so. I sat down at the bar and observed that the chef actually burned much food, not just mine. I guess some people don’t notice or mind, the food was still eatable. I won’t go back and the restaurant is overrated."

"Always solid. Soulful place with consistent good food and service. Always get the French onion soup. Steak and frites great. Lots of tasty cocktails too. Particularly love the Sinthensizer with bourbon. Manifique!"

"Wanted to love it but was disappointed. The vibe is cool and a little divey, and the staff were nice. The prices are decent but the drinks were just fine and the food was fine or not good. The duck confit was dry, the wilted kale tasted off, potatoes were dry and fries were super crispy and dry. We also waited a long time for our food (granted it was a Friday) but the waiter was very apologetic and said he’d jump in and help get our dessert out faster if necessary. Crème brûlée was nice but isn’t it always good?There is better French food elsewhere in Seattle for slightly more expensive that we will be returning to."

"Hands down the best French onion soup in Seattle, no questions. Place is always packed so be prepared to wait outside if you show up during peak hours. May need to share a table with others. Bar seating is usually our go to. Not your fine dining experience but the food is superb! Tried the poutine frites with mushroom gravy - absolutely delicious. A lot going on in this small space so don’t expect an intimate quiet date. Great weekend spot for an adult beverage and high quality food."
