Came here with 2 friends for dinner on a Monday night at 8pm. Was told the wait would be 45 minutes but the host kept passing us up after that. This French dbag host could hardly do his friggin job right since all he was doing was flirting with the women waiting for a table or nowhere to be found. Had to remind him repeatedly that my group of 3 was still waiting since all he did was write names on a big chalkboard with no apparent order.

Finally seated and ordered a few plates. The food was average to good - definitely not great or memorable so don't pressure yourself to try a lot. It's a true neighborhood restaurant and you'd come here for the ambience.

We ordered a few tartines and the only one I could remember was the one with anchovies and capers because it was not good. It was over salted and the giant capers on top appeared to be only good for garnishing because it was too big and the flavor overbearing.

We also got the coq au vin and the chilled lamb. We liked the lamb a lot but the coq au vin was just all right. It was very homemade tasting - as in good but not something you'd expect at a place or price like this.

Finally we ordered the tart tatin for dessert and it was DISGUSTING. I actually spat it out because it tasted like canned apples. Even Steph, who loves all dessert could barely stomach it. It was like a dessert from the 1960s. Way too sweet and had no texture or hint that it came from the natural world.

All in all, wouldn't come here unless I lived here.
