I thought my mom and I would have really enjoyed this restaurant, but we were a bit underwhelmed and feel that Le Reve in Tosa and Pastiche in downtown are better options in Milwaukee for French cuisine.

Things we liked:
the view of Lake Michigan
free parking!
the butter (kinda random, but it was really good!)
the wine pairings for the Menu de Chef
the service from our waiter s assistant (I think her name was Michelle)
my dessert, which was an Earl Grey pot de creme with honey brittle and lavender chantilly creme. The bright, lemony Riesling was a perfect pair.

Things we didn t care for:
our waiter made the same spiel for the specials at every table and became a broken record.
the soup l oignon was so-so, a little too sweet
the entrees could have used more vegetables to brighten up the plate
my filet was well-done when I ordered it rare, but they were quick to fix that
noisy in our room and was difficult to maintain conversation
we got a bit of a pretentious air to the place

Overall, this place was nice, but didn t knock our socks off. However, I would go there again for drinks and dessert.
