  Excellent food, friendly staff. Like the design of the menu, 3 choices of appetizers, main courses and deserts. Easy to pick what you want.

  Delicious well made food. It's good French cooking with creative flare.
  [Addendum: Upon a second visit, I noticed the same dishes were inconsistent - the plating affected the taste. Not a big deal but the food was the tastiest on my first visit. Wonder what it would be like third time around?]
  
  Minimum menu with the right amount of variety that makes it so easy to choose.
  
  The wait staff were just perfect in being friendly, helpful and authentic without being overwhelming.
  
  At the same time it's not a place to eat at everyday (it's a little more upscale than casual dining and the cost of the meal reflects that). This will be one of the places we'll go to treat ourselves on a special occasion or in this recent case to cheer ourselves up with good food after a bad day.

  I went here with my husband (who is French) for our wedding anniversary and had a great meal. It's a small operation, 2 in the kitchen and two upfront but they were friendly, attentive and we were waiting the perfect amount of time for each course. The limited menu is great as it allows them to concentrate of the quality of food and the sauces were AMAZING (a must for a French restaurant) we were wiping our plates clean with very good bread. We will be back! If you're not a try new foods and flavours kind of person this is not for you.

  Best meal I've had in Vancouver in a very long time. Each dish was perfectly balanced with the right fat-acidity and it definitely did not lack flavour. Wouldn't have changed anything about it, even down to the bread and butter. 4.5 for this memorable meal. Be back soon!

  This place is great. Food was delicious. You choose from 3 appetizers 3 entrees and 3 desserts. Drinks were really good. Service friendly. We will definitely return. Only negative is no air conditioning. We went there on a hot day and we were sweating. So will return on a cooler day.
