Very nice privately held small French restaurant with a real French chef in a place where one is least likely to expect it. What a difference to all the chain restaurants that dominate across the Midwest. You could tell all was freshly prepared in the small on site kitchen and not laden with preservatives and artificial flavors. We were personally …

Went here for the first time for my wife’s birthday dinner. Food was excellent in all ways. The waitress was very good. Attentive to perfection. Not to much or to little. A wonderful evening. Will definitely go back.

Absolutely fantastic food and a great dining experience. Every dish was flavorful and thoughtfully prepared, and it’s easy to tell how much care goes into the menu. We really enjoyed our evening and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! My favorite dish was the scallops and risotto, appetizers were outstanding, and my husband enjoyed the chorizo rigatoni. Lots of dietary …

A nice surprise! Friendly staff, the owner will make sure to enchant you with his rich accent as to the special of the day. I savored the Hungarian goulash (a local favorite).
