" My best friend and I decided to stop in and see what this place was all about. We were impressed! The cramped setting only adds to its charm, and the staff really knows their stuff when it comes to French cuisine. I was really excited about the escargot and it did not disappoint! It’s not the biggest space but it certainly has a big heart and even bigger flavors. We can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint little restaurant that feels incredibly homey! I loved the French classical dishes on the menu. For starters, the paté was delightful and served with fresh bread, which paired beautifully with the house wine. The service was friendly, but a little slow at times, though this wasn't a deal-breaker for me. I plan to return and try more from the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is fantastic! Authentic French ambiance and excellent service. I had the steak tartare, which was fresh and packed with flavor. The atmosphere made it feel authentic. Only downside was the time it took to receive our food; we had to wait a little longer than expected. But the quality of the food made up for it, and I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, dining here feels like you’re in a piece of France. The lobsters in the bisque were a highlight, with rich flavors bursting in every spoonful. While the service was mostly good, we did have a wait for our main courses, which was slightly disappointing. Nevertheless, enjoying a glass of wine while soaking in the environment made it worthwhile. If you’re in the mood for French cuisine, this place won’t let you down. " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint and charming French bistro! I loved the cozy setup, and the smells coming from the kitchen were so inviting. We ordered the foie gras and it was absolutely divine; smooth and rich in flavor. The only downside was that the restaurant was quite busy, leading to a bit of a wait for our food. However, once it arrived, it was every bit worth it. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a slice of France in Nashville! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful experience! The authenticity here was impeccable, and we truly felt like we were transported straight to France! The flavors in every dish were vibrant and unique. My personal favorite was the tarte tatin, which was a heavenly end to our meal. I do wish I had tried their seasonal cocktails. I’ll be recommending this place to everyone I know! " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional French restaurant! The service was wonderful, and the food was full of authentic flavors. The lobster bisque stood out and was just divine! The atmosphere was the icing on the cake; it reminded me of my last trip to France. If you're in Nashville, this little treasure is definitely worth visiting. I’m counting down the days until I can return! " (*Curated Review*)
