There was neither parking available, nor seats.Ok, counter bar was ok with us.The food was ok, just nothing special - the duck pretty tasteless.But the unpleasant and unexpected part was Miami city tax? Another 10% on top of 20% mandatory tip? Combined with paid street parking - not worth it.

I'm a Southbeach local and have passed this restaurant for years and finally tried it last night... The Atmosphere was Amazing with a beautiful decor and very stylish and cozy lighting. The images on the menu were not that great however they were fully representative of the food... not that great. I had the Steak Poivre and it was bland and flavorless and tasted 1 step above shoe leather... My companion had Beef Bourguignon and it was very fatty and did not have a pleasing flavor. Over all the food really ruined the experience. We shared our thoughts with a petite little French looking woman with a beautiful haircut and she was apologetic however did not offer to reduce the bill or a complimentary drink or even dessert, merely suggesting we come back again and try something different. Not the right answer. My suggestion would be to revisit your menu to include revamped and new delicious meals and then hire a professional to take quality pictures and improve your web pressence.

Awesome service and food. $1 oysters on Wednesday is an amazing deal in a beach town.

Had a lovely girl night out with my friend. Our server Marianne was a lovely person, took good care of us. The food is also delicious, we liked everything we tried, good selection on wines and fairly priced. The chef also came to say hi to the table which made our night even better! It felt like a small paris bistro where everyone knows each other in the neighborhood. Quite a lovely experience.

Excellent on all counts. Felt like a French restaurant in a village in France. The chef actually sat us, took our order and checked how the meal was afterwards. No complaints. I rarely give 5 stars. Food, ambiance and service were flawless.

A rare find in the US: proper french food for the right price. Everything that we tried was superb, they have good wines by the glass, and the ambiance by the bar with the open kitchen is great.
Fantastic dining experience. Everything from the appetizers to the dessert was fantastic. Definitely get the baguette. Atmosphere is wonderful as well. Highly recommend.

We came here when we saw that this place has happy hour oysters for $1.50 each. We were walk-ins and seated immediately. The hostess/waitress took our order when we sat down since we knew that we came here only for the oysters. We did order a few drinks each along with the tempura brussel sprouts. Each oyster was juicy and meaty something different from the Upper East Coast ones. The tempura brussel sprouts took me by surprise because these brussels were not bitter and were crispy with each bite. The cocktails were a little on the heavier side. I was a little disappointed that the alcohol overpowered the subtle yuzu/citrus taste. We did not order much since we were in a rush back to our cruise and this stop was unplanned. We did call ahead of time to check with the restaurant if they could seat us for happy hour which they informed us they could. When we did arrive, we were informed that we had to be done in 1 hour since the table we sat at was reserved for another party, which wasn't a problem for us since we did inform them many times that we were only here for the happy hour. We stayed a total of 30 minutes. The stay was kind of disappointing seeing that the hostess/waitress that was in charge of our stay was lowkey rushing us out. We ordered 15 oysters first knowing that there wouldn't be room at the table and then another 15 when we finished the first order. The waitress kept trying to see if we were going to order anything else, also hinting that we should order main dishes (which we were not here for due to the tight schedule). When we told her we weren't she seemed kind of pissed as if we weren't going to rack up the bill high enough for a decent tip, which leads to the next part of gratuity. We were a party of 4 and usually, gratuity is auto-applied with parties of 5 or more. We didn't have a problem with the gratuity since we were planning to tip more than that, but seeing that she went ahead and auto-grad us we didn't say anything. We were just disappointed with the service since it is unmoral to auto grad a party of 4 just because we didn't want to spend a certain amount so she could have a higher tip out of the bill. The food here is good but just be wary of the gratuity on the bill.

This not-so-little jewel is quite a nice experience! First of all, if it's a French restaurant and there is a fair number of French people eating in it... it's a very good bet! And it was! Wonderful foie gras, amazing baguette, very savory escargots, tasty baked Brie! For mains we sampled the lamb chops, the filet mignon, the veal Milanese and the grilled octopus - all absolute winners! The desserts were equally wonderful and true to the French recipes - Ile Flottante is my favorite and they got it absolutely right, and a huge portion. The atmosphere was like being in Europe... half of the tables were filled with French, German, British patrons... loved the variety!
