They do everything with excellence. Delicious classic French bistro fare, top notch service in a atmosphere made for a first or 100th date.

Katelyn was an exceptional server – her knowledge of the menu truly impressed me. She provided fantastic suggestions that hit the mark, and her friendly, accommodating nature made our dining experience five-star worthy. Highly recommend asking for Katelyn when you visit!"

I really wanted to love this place after reading reviews but it was a big disappointment. The service did not match the prices and the prices didn’t match the atmosphere at all. We were there for a special occasion and were told we would have a private room, it was pretty much a back corner on the way to the restrooms, not cool. Food was not consistent and service was the opposite of seamless. The French onion soup was delicious and the scallops were solid but not worth 44.00. Drinks were lackluster and 17.00. Maybe we hit at off night.

very disappointed. dined there last night. the cocktails, beer and wine were not very cold. there are no tap beers. the garlic soup was very good. the onion soup was a mess. no vibrancy. the onions were 90% of the small crock. the fish in the fish and chips had no taste or texture. it was mush. horrible. there was a orange color sauce that was outstanding. service was good but the timing was awful. 30 minutes between soup and entree on a slow Sunday night. I was warned that the food was subpar. I didn't believe it. I do now. will never return especially since there are so many great options in the eastern Monmouth County area.

Came with a large group and the food did not disappoint. All the dishes were flavorful and shareable.

This restaurant is consistently GOOD in every possible aspect. Delicious food, great vibe, great music, great service. A++++++
Perhaps they were off their normal stride but our brunch was a big disappointment. Service was slow and inattentive. Quiche Lorraine was overcooked, dry and crumbly and came 15 minutes after my wife eggs Benedict which were undercooked with very runny whites and a flavorless hollandaise. The escargot app was very good but bread for dipping showed up 10 minutes later. The drinks and dessert were fine. Overall the food quality and service were definitely not in line with the pricing.

Excellent place. Third visit and still worth the 1 hour plus drive. Classic French bistro fare. Well executed dishes like escargot, moules et frites, fish & chips (☆☆☆) steak tartar and delicious pot de creme. Can be a little noisy but still a nice lively vibe. Value is excellent to standard, but the Foie Gras @ $48 seemed a little hefty. Definitely will return when the shore beckons.

Not worth it if you're going to eat. Massively overpriced for the quality. The drinks were solid but the food was average at best. It was a nice looking place but I wouldn't go a second time. Service could be better, as far as timing goes. They were polite but we waited over an hour for our food to arrive, after ordering and when we were done with our drinks, it took over 30 minutes for the waiter to just come back to ask us if we wanted another round.

We've been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. Reservations highly suggested!
We celebrated my partner's birthday here on a Wednesday (January 17, 2024), and it was such a wonderful experience! They had two musicians playing live jazz at the entrance, and it created such a lovely atmosphere. The food was spectacular, and we especially loved the house made bilinis that came with the Ossetra. The sweet garlic soup was surprisingly bright green, and absolutely rich and delicious; the seared foie gras and sole meunière melted in our mouths. The fish and chips dish was as delightfully fresh as the hand cut French fries. And the slaw was a perfect accompaniment to the crab cake, which was another delight. Our server even surprised us with the house chocolate pudding and wow, was that a treat! Everything was perfect, and I highly recommend eating there! We want to go back for brunch.

Service was top notch, what you’d expect from a fine French restaurant. Food was excellent as well, especially the mushroom tart. Greta flavors, portions were just right. Not the most inexpensive meal in Asbury, but worth it if you’re looking for a nice treat.
