Tried our luck without reservations any luckily they were able to fit us in (party of two) but we had to leave by a certain time which was not a problem. Point being, make reservations!
The service was very attentive and patient as I attempted to converse solely in French (they do speak English.) This is what I was expecting when I have French Bistro. The service was great and anticipated every need, the atmosphere so very french, the food -- a traditional bistro style. A very good wine list, limited number of demi- bottles, no beer.
My husband had the quail and I had the shrimp risotto which both were good-- but not earth shatteringly fantastic. What was great was the little jars of cornichon pickles and spicy (like clear your sinuses mustard) at every table.
And again, the service was so attentive, it made the average meal so much more special. They do take Amex Ex
