Fodor's Review:

This cozy, romantic corner bistro will win your heart with its affordable French cuisine. Chef and owner Thierry Clement adds flavorful flair to dishes such as buttery and tender ravioli filled with tiger prawns, or crisp butter lettuce salad topped with smoked olive oil vinaigrette. Comfort food classics, such as savory duck confit and steak frites, also satisfy. Don't miss the decadent potato side dish, pommes landaises, made with duck fat. Check the ardoise (chalkboard) for specials—although the dim candlelit ambiance can make it difficult to read. The room is petite and filled with couples on date night—singles may choose to dine at the tiny counter.
