My partner and I spent our anniversary here. The customer service was amazing. The tomahawk special and the cheese and truffle ravioli was great. We didn't have any room for dessert but our server still got us a dessert for free to celebrate our anniversary. Definitely will be back.

An absolute gem of a dining experience!! We made reservations and were seated right away. The owner was actually there and conversed with us which was so nice. The drinks were amazing! We got the baked brie and spicy meatball appetizers this time but we’ve had the tuna carpaccio before and it’s perfect!!For dinner we got a ribeye perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked! We also got one of the specials which was a truffle mushroom ravioli and it was so delicious and fresh.For dessert we had crème brute and tiramisu and both were just incredible. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was nice and not too loud and the food is excellent!

Their cioppino is par excellence! Jumbo scallops, shell fish (green lipped mussels), lobster .... And NO fish pieces to dilute the the great blend of spices & broth. Every time I come to this establishment I cannot seem to order anything else as this dish is not duplicated in 200 mile radius!

First timer here. Hostess, server and pretty much worker there are very sweet and kind. Food was delicious, escargot, soup and steak . Very cool, kinda mellow vibe.

We wanted to celebrate Valentine Day, but every place we picked in town was booked at the time we wanted, the day before the "big day". "French-Italian fusion with an Asian twist" caught my eye! The appetizers were amazing! We had the escargot, spicy scallops and the stuffed lobster. The drinks also had a great presentation! The filet minion was cooked to perfection. We had a little room for dessert... we had the creme brûlée and tiramisu!! Anne was a gracious hostess, that gave us options that were on and off of the menu!! Service for us was excellent! The staff were also really pleasant.

10/10 fantastic! I had a few appetizers and I'm going to tell you what I really think... when walking in the ambiance is lovely and inviting. The wine is delicious, the Brie with honey is the decadence you have been missing. The roasted garlic potatoes are delicious crisp exterior with a creamy interior. I also had the spicy baked muscles absolutely would order again. The texture & flavors were on point with the balance between spicy seasoning and creamy. Next time I wanna try the brussels sprouts, shrimp, ceviche, escargot, and so much more.

After visiting France & Paris this year, I wanted to try this restaurant that I've heard so much about. The food and atmosphere is amazing. This place is a hidden gem! It is usually booked, I highly recommend making reservations. Date night approved

This is one of our new favorite restaurants. The food and service are fantastic. The ambiance is amazing as well. One of the best restaurants in Fresno, we look forward to our next visit.

Who would've thought that we could find such delicious French food in this little town of Fresno! Cheers to the chef for infusing Asian flavors with classic French cuisine, to elevate the dining experience! Annie, our server, was delightful and had great recommendations for us. Starting off strong, we got Escargot and Scallops on the half shell. The escargot was soft and buttery with the softest bread I've had in a while. The scallops were my favorite dish of the night because they were fresh and sweet, and had a strong but amazing flavor. For our mains we had the Lobster Risotto and Japanese Sea Bass, one of the chef's specialties for the night. The Lobster Risotto was my second favorite of the night because of the creamy risotto and perfectly cooked lobster tail(s). The Japanese Sea Bass was also delicious, light and tender, but the only downside is that it came with bones which wasn't expected at a more fine dining restaurant. For dessert we got creme brûlée and although the flavor was good, unfortunately it was overcooked and lacked the silky texture that makes this dessert. All in all, I'd definitely recommend for a special occasion meal or date night! I'll be coming back very soon!

My sis wanted to try this place out. We were very impressed!! Amazing Italian dishes, great service, and nice atmosphere. We literally felt we were somewhere else besides Fresno. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

I went here for my birthday. It is a pretty bar. My family enjoyed their meals. My husband and I shared a ribeye steak -we asked for medium and it was more in the blue side- undercooked, when I asked for my steak to be refired and the chef/or manager asked why did I accept the steak when my husband cut thru it, I explained I thought it would suffice but further into the meal it just made me ill and I changed my mind. Manager/chef was a bit confrontational. I only wanted it refired and not for free or discounted. I think the chefs/cooks should learn the proper techniques in how to tell if a steak is cooked well, medium etc. also, it notes that it is a French restaurant, I assure it is NOT. As I have traveled to Paris and throughout southern France - so I know what French food is.... It has escargot but that's about it. We also paid $250 plus for 6 people. This would be an acceptable place for happy hour but don't expect too much if you decide to have dinner there.
