  • Did not live up to its hype. First off, the good. The service was wonderful and the wine they recommended was right up my alley. My husband's pork belly was amazing, quite flavorful and cooked perfectly. He also raved about his foie gras. Now, the bad. Based on reviews of this place, I foolishly expected it to be cute. The outside IS very quaint with lots of flowers in pots, cozy tables and people watching. But if you end up sitting inside (I know who does that in AZ, but it was chill outside!)...the place will remind you of an old Tahoe log cabin. And not in a good way. The sparkly little chandeliers and a few gilt framed mirrors do not a cute French cabin make. Inside seating itself is reminiscent of your local pub dive bar where you are all shoved together on long benches. Enough about the decor. The food to me was unimpressive. This place seemed to be old school French. Not nouveau or anything gastropubbish weird. We're talking snails and frites and foie gras. French ain't easy to do but I figured with the amount of fabulous reviews, that this place would know how to do it. Wrong. My mussels rested in tepid, untasty broth. My steak and frites meal (a simple classic that is a no brainer in a French restaurant) was appalling. The steak looked like an overdone piece of mutton and the fries were SEASONED. Yes...as in Jack in the Box curly fries. Lastly, the coffee was incredibly weak which was bizarre considering it was through a French press. The only saving grace in the meal for me was that the dark and milk chocolate creme brulee dessert was so rich wonderful, I almost felt I could overlook the countless other ways this place fell short. Almost. It was disappointing to have such a lukewarm experience given the fabulous reviews here... especially given it was our most expensive meal in AZ. Possibly it was an off night for the chef, who knows. My husband enjoyed his meal and the experience itself was enjoyable, but it seemed I made all the wrong selections. Except for that rich luscious dessert. Next time I'll just skip the MEAL part and go straight for the sweets.
