EaterApril 16, 2012Chef Peter Woolsey's take on family recipes is a nice touch in an environment that has tons of them to start, like red aprons for their server brigade and a beautiful backyard patio. [Eater 38 Member]
Richie StarkJuly 18, 2013Get cozy at this comfortable bistro. Inviting interior (and bar) gets one in the mood to enjoy Chef Wooley's interpretations of French food. And don't sleep on the special events.
- Travel + LeisureNovember 2, 2012Chef Peter Woolsey came home from Paris determined to replicate the city’s romantic bistros. Order the oeuf du pêcheur, a poached egg served with plump mussels in a tarragon-and-cream sauce.
IrinaAugust 21, 2013For an appetizer pick a Poached egg which is absolutely exquisite! Rabbit for a main course was delectable - reminded me of a rabbit dish in Paris restaurant in Las Vegas. And deserts are food art!
Brendan RastetterAugust 22, 2014Order the escargots (better than any I had in Paris), the oeuf du pecheur (filling enough to be your meal) and the best creme brûlée you will ever have.
Lance LacoffMarch 14, 2016Great brunch, omelette with reblochon fondue was a stand out. Foie Gras was delicious. Excellent $25 prix fixe deal and tasty $5 Bloodies. Friendly service.- Fodor's TravelAugust 29, 2018The place has quickly become a neighborhood favorite, with regulars swearing by some standouts including the Alsatian-style Flammenkuchen appetizer Read more

Rachel ShifmanMay 17, 2018Good deals when it's Restaurant Week. Otherwise, its overpriced and not very creative
- Philadelphia MagazineJanuary 14, 2013If you walk out of here without eating the snails, someone should just punch you. Especially if you’re the kind of person who normally doesn’t eat snails.
