" Great food! The French onion soup was the highlight of the meal, and our entrees were well chosen. The service was attentive, but we encountered a minor mix-up with our orders—no big deal. The only downside: the place got a bit loud during peak hours. Otherwise, this is a gem of a restaurant, and we're already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking forward to dining at Cafe Degas after hearing so many positive things but felt a bit let down. The French onion soup was delicious, but I found the rest of the meal underwhelming. We had to wait quite a while for service, and the prices felt a bit high for what we got. I might give it another shot later but might come during a quieter time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Cafe Degas based on all recommendations. The artfully prepared French dishes were beautifully presented, yet the flavors did not impress me. My hangar steak was good but lacked the punch I expected from a French bistro; portions were fair but pricey. The service was friendly, but we waited quite a long time for our mains. I may consider returning to try brunch instead. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a delightful brunch at Cafe Degas. The menu offered a great selection, and I particularly enjoyed the crawfish quiche—so flavorful! The service was excellent, and there was a relaxed atmosphere that made dining enjoyable. For those worried about portions, I found them to be adequate for brunch. I will return for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this hidden French gem! The ambiance truly makes you feel like you’re dining outdoors in Paris. I ordered the French onion soup and mussels, both were incredible. My only grievance was that the service was a bit slow due to a busy evening. But the food is worth the wait. I can't wait to go back for another meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here for a birthday dinner, everything went great. The table was lovely and our server was very nice. Every dish we ordered was spot-on—definitely recommend their desserts! If you're looking for a relaxed dining experience with excellent quality, you can't go wrong here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful little spot with great food. The brunch menu is particularly extensive and delicious! The croissant French toast was a perfect mix of sweetness and fluffiness. Service was diligent, and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. Only flaw was the need for better parking options. Definitely a return visit is in our plans! " (*Curated Review*)
