First I would like to say such a beautiful ambiance! My friends and I really enjoyed the whole vibe. We ordered the oysters + grilled calamari to start - the oysters were absolutely delicious the flavor was out of this world had sort of a Asian cuisine taste. Honestly, one of the best oysters I've ever had. For main course I had the lobster, it was cooked to perfection and the sauce was a delicious creamy sauce. The steak was also delicious would recommend medium/rare will make a difference in taste. The expresso martini was delicious- must have for a cocktail. We ordered all the dessert- my favorite was the chocolate A must go for a dinner date or friend gathering.
Food: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Had high hopes for the duck and rabbit before coming here due to all the good reviews. But after visit, I'd probably not come again given the service and the food which are both below expectations. Ordered the squid, rabbit, and the duck entrees. It's good portion for 2 people. We didn't go for the "A Very Coucou Dinner" option as our waiter told us the entree option is a mystery. I like how they prepare the proteins in various ways and you get to taste different combinations of flavors with each entree. However, most of the dishes tend to get too salty and the sauce is too thick. The dessert is too dense and very sweet. In addition, the service can improve as the waiter was not very attentive and did not give very thorough introduction of the dishes compared to other Michelin star restaurants.
I had the prix fixe lunch on a Saturday and I loved every single moment. The spacious, welcoming, and cozy room, the great, friendly, and attentive service, and the excellent food all come together perfectly. The menu goes in different directions, staying true to French cuisine and at the same time combining it in new ways, and doing it with an excellent hand. My favorites were the spongy bread seriously, it's that good, the chicken and sweetbreads in pastry, the mussels served like snails, and all the sweets.
Beautiful and elegant place with amazing ambiance. Food i think was generally good but nothing too out of this world. Also may be a bit biased because i’m not too fond of French cuisine. But nonetheless it was still a good meal. I believe we got set meals to share so we could try more and it felt like a good decision. Restaurant is generally pricey but i can see why they especially for the service, ambiance and food.
Went here for an anniversary dinner and it had the perfect ambiance and great decor. We ordered the duck for two and what succulent taste! Dessert was excellent and sweet. It was a perfect dinner and a perfect way to the end the night. Waitress was attentive and answered all our inquires. Highly recommended for a romantic night out.
Beautiful interior decor! The food was just ok, maybe we ordered the wrong dishes, but it really would have been nice for the waiter to give us a more detailed explanation of the menu items of instead of recommending us dishes like sweetbread without explaining what sweetbread is. The duck was great but overly salted, as was every other dish we ordered. Would recommend as a date spot.
The customer service is exceptional they knew what was vegan, vegetarian food restrictions etc. The portions were small but surprised us to be very filling by the time we made it to dessert I could barely eat any of it. My stomach felt so good after eating the vegetables cooked in apple sauce, the broth was like no other, distinct and healing. Although we came in 30 minutes before close they still welcomed us. I love the long candles on the tables but I don’t know how I didn’t burn my hair. The restrooms smelt really bad and the tunnel to it too like a sewage issue. The ambience was set, the plants were beautiful and the hand soap was an experience. Overall I would go back.
I love the dessert here! The cream on the top is not that sweet, which I really like, lobster is good. Others are average quality in fine dining. However, I don’t think the taste will attract me to go here again. Nothing special here.
Great moody scene. Excellent ingredients and flavor. Could tell that they sous vided the lobster tail and claw at two different temp, excellent texture. Highlight was the sweetbread. One disappointment was that the peas in my veal tongue was probably from a frozen bag. Not juicy or popping. For a restaurant this scale, I would expect to have in-season ingredients to be extremely fresh.
Such an eloquent and divine experience. I absolutely loved the ambience of the restaurant. Everything we ordered tasted amazing and the service was impeccable. I would love to come back here again and sit near the kitchen to be able to witness all the action going on!
