Editorial Review

Inspired French bistro and wine bar brings Parisian feel to restaurant heavy South End. Intimate, cramped bar space exudes charm, with towering walls of bottles over head. White table cloth service at half circle leather banquettes along walls of room leading toward open kitchen. Elegant without stuffy attitude. Brunch is the most popular attraction amongst area bourgeois with options like creme fraiche and lemon scented belgian waffle with fresh berries and vanilla whipped cream. Prix Fixe and "happy hour" type deals make stopping in on off hours tempting.
