    Really good French cuisine for the value. Steak frites was perfect, duroc pork chop was delightful. Really impressive wine selection. Great for date night and restaurant week.

    Try the Crab Stuffed Peppers - Can I gazillion love this?! Omg...this melted in my mouth! No fillers, real fresh crab meat and packs so much goodness in just one bite. Heaven!

    The burger served with truffled duck fat fries is absolutely worth the premium price you'll pay at this neighborhood bistro.

    Can't go wrong with the NY strip steak and fuck fat fries. Salmon is also a winner. Save room for the banana bread dessert!

    As Low key as three courses of French cuisine gets.

    Featured on Chuck's Eat the Streets. The dish shown was Chicken and Pepper Stew. It looks good except the polenta that sits at the bottom.

    Try the steak tartare - The color of tartare is not appealing, but tasted real good. It was actually better the next day for breakfast. ;)

    Try the Grilled Pork Chop - ...with fingerlings, Swiss chard & a oyster & trumpet mushroom sauce. Pic doesn't do it justice. Chop is 2 inches thick.

    Try the Lamb Pasta - Lover of lamb just not so much with pasta. But if you're gonna do both, this was done right!

    The 15oz pork chop is amazing. The sauce makes the pork chip and it's NOT overly salty at all.

    A little better than the first time I ate here. Nothing to write home about The menu is limited. The wine list over priced for the selections. Our waiter was irritating and somewhat insulting.

    Exquisite food. Cozy ambiance, but if you are ordering wine, stick to chilled varietals. Their wine is stored a bit too close to the stove to maintain optimal temperatures.

    Pork belly with asparagus app, and an amazing grouper with vanilla bean sauce. This place is a hidden gem.

    Trendy by poorly prepared food. Trendy was about the best thing that could be said about this place. I was served an overcooked and tasteless pork-chop, which needed a chainsaw to cut.

    Le Cordon Bleu graduate Fred Piehl found a cozy space on North Park's "restaurant row" and seasoned it with a repertoire of urban fare that points to Paris.
