Very nice ambiance and clean dining room. The wait staff were attentive and very kind. Remy made our dinner so delightful and I enjoyed every course. My favorite of course was the steak, but the chocolate mouse was amazing! A hidden gem certainly!

Love the place - food is good - steak, lamb rack, sausage with blue cheese - all excellent. Chocolate mousse is good but too big for one - share it.

Easily the best true French experience in OC. This is a smaller but phenomenal restaurant. They have an amazing selection cooked at the highest quality. Their produce is phenomenal and the chefs do an amazing job at presenting them in a French repertoire. They have a great wine selection and the waiters really know what they are doing. They have some seats which allow you to peer into the kitchen while you're eating to see the dance of a true French kitchen.

Brunch perfection. I honestly hesitated about posting because I want to keep it the hidden little gem that it is. Their traditional French fries rival the perfection of the French fries from Belgian. Crispy outside and soft and hot inside. The sweet gem salad is a marvel of flavor perfection, the grilled sweet gems are paired with prosciutto and shaved Parmesan. I love sangrias and this one was spot on, not too sweet and filled with fruit. Ending the meal with the tart and sweet berry crumble and a double espresso concluded a perfect brunch. The service staff are personable and attentive.

One of our favorite steakhouses in OC. Their homemade Toulouse sausages are amazingly authentic, and the filet mignon is always perfectly cooked tasty. They have great salads too, and the chocolate mousse for dessert is delicious.

The 30-day aged steak was magnificent. I ordered it medium rare, and it melted in my mouth. It had an exquisite taste. Overall, excellent food and drinks. They have a fabulous expresso martini as well. The restaurant carries a beautiful ambiance all around. Great place for an intimate date with friends or a loved one.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. We had the burger - delicious, the fish- excellent, the green beans - so yummy. We had an excellent Bordeaux as well. Highly recommend and looking forward to going back.

I got to try a bit of everything from the ribeye to the rack of lamb. I have to say though the pork chop was outstanding. Tons of flavor, soft and juicy with a nice crispy outer crust. I wish there was a bit more in the green beans side. I probably would opt for a different side next time which was topped with arugula. The fries with raclette and bacon was a meal in itself.

What a pleasant surprise! My friend picked this place for our couples dinner. I had looked at the menu online and thought it seemed alright, wasn't super excited about it though. Fortunately, this ended up being one of the best meals I have had this year and I really want to go back! This is a tiny place, pretty cramped inside. Next time I would request outdoor seating. Our server was very slow in the beginning, but by the time the food started arriving, she was more attentive. For starters we had the Burrata and the Carpaccio. Both were FANTASTIC. Loved the honey roasted acorn squash and the pistachios that came with the burrata. The carpaccio - oh wow! When it was set in front of us we all commented on how thick it was. I decided to be the brave one and take the first bite. Yes, it's thick, but it's also grilled on one side so it isn't just a thick piece of raw beef. We all loved this appetizer, especially the gribiche sauce that topped it. One of my friends had their Sweet Gem salad and shared it with the table. I can never resist a grilled salad, and this was one of the best I have ever had, I couldn't stop sneaking bites off the plate. The dijon vinaigrette, prosciutto, and pickled onions made this salad delicious. For my main course I had the Hanger Steak with shallot sauce. Absolute perfection! I asked for it medium rare and it was spot on. The sauce was so rich and yummy, but I was fine eating the steak on it's own. I tried bites of everybody else's food - Beef Cheek, Ribeye with blue cheese sauce, and Toulouse Sausage with mashed potatoes - all wonderful. Our sides were Sautéed Green Beans and Butcher's Fries. The beans were excellent, soooo garlicky. I took the rest of them home to eat with my leftover steak the next day. Butcher's Fries had salty, thick, pieces of bacon on them and lots of cheese. Of course, we ordered dessert. Chocolate Mousse and Creme Brulee. Both were nice, on the "lighter" side which was great cause I was full and couldn't imagine eating a heavy dessert. I really liked the contrast of sweet and bitter crunchy chocolate pieces on top of the mousse. I didn't pay the bill, but I did notice the prices on the menu were much lower than I expected. My husband paid our half and said he was happy about how affordable this dinner was. I really do hope we come back here, it was such an excellent dinner!
