    The bright dining room is a friendly spot for a solo sandwich dinner or a group sit-down affair. Just be sure to grab one of their giant chocolate chip cookies for dessert before you go!

    From the cured meats to the grits reminiscent of risotto, the attention to detail elevates their offerings. Carefully curated wine at grocery prices makes for an affordable night. [Eater 38 Member]

    Pair the house-made merguez with a seasonal salad, and go ahead and order a bottle of wine; it beats getting back in line for another glass, and the ambience is so nice you're going to want to linger. Read more

    Mussels are enormous and the sauce with the ham is divine. Make sure to order dessert while you are there-shortbread is awesome and the salted choc chip cookie is a must! Obsessed.

    Cute & quality bistro for lunch or breakfast. Farm wedge is relatively light & so good. Ample parking but can get full during peak hours.

    Yummy little French cafe. Good bottled beer and cheese selections. Tasty food. Service was a little slow. Despite other tippers, the chocolate cookie is not that amazing (see: Steeping Room)

    Wine and cheese are a great way to start off, and the mussels are a great way to finish. Sip wine outside in the cooler months, and enjoy their coffee too

    Cured salmon sandwich is the best -- you can't go wrong with that one. Green Fried Tomatoes are overhyped. The place is a hipster joint, but it does have a pleasant ambiance.

    Brunch Tip 1: order English muffin w/o butter. Tip 2: order extra muffin with cured salmon. Beignets amazing! Eggs Benedict amazing! Will definitely be back!

    Cute ambiance. Love the impressive cheese counter, provisions and wine selection. Summer squash soup was delicious, salted chocolate chip cookie a must.

    Good upscale casual dinner options, lots of European wine by the bottle choices. Can get loud when full.

    I'd come back for the beignets, but probably skip the croque madame. It was cold, and it had too much bread and not enough flavor. Also, as a heads up, the mimosas are minuscule!

    Definitely get some beignets. Great please for artisan cheeses. Creative dishes & delicious.

    Bring back the mustard mussels, pleeeeeeease! Best mussels I've ever had. The saffron Pernod mussels aren't cutting it.

    Most things on the menu are outstanding, but the Eggs Benedict is decidedly subpar.

    Disappointing. Staff couldn't be bothered after taking order. Asked for my cold coffee to be warmed, expecting it to be topped off--was microwaved, returned near empty, "we don't do free refills".

    This place was just ok. Portions are small so dont bring a large appetite, staff was unfriendly. I recommend skipping this place.
