" I must say, I had high hopes for Moulin after hearing all the hype, but my experience was a bit lackluster. The ambiance is fantastic, with that quintessential French charm, but the service left much to be desired. It took too long for us to place our order, and even longer for the food to arrive. When it did come, the pastries were good but not as flaky as I expected. A solid place for a quick bite, but improvements in service would make it outstanding! " (*Curated Review*)

" Moulin ticks all the boxes for an authentic French experience! I came for lunch with my family and we ordered a variety of dishes, from baguette sandwiches to their famous pastries. Each item was expertly crafted and tasted delicious, especially the pain au chocolat! The staff made us feel at home, and even helped us pick out our pastries. The atmosphere, with its charming decor and French music, rounds it all off nicely. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m a sucker for French pastries, so my expectations were high when I visited Moulin. The atmosphere does a fantastic job of mimicking a Parisian café, and the coffee was one of the best I’ve had. I tried their seasonal pastry—pear tart—and it was scrumptious. I left feeling pleased, but I do think their savory options need to step up their game to match the sweetness of the pastries. Can't wait to see what they come up with next! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Moulin and loved the experience! Everything from the decor to the food reminded me of France. I ordered the duck confit, which was beautifully cooked, tender, and full of flavor. The price was just right for the portion size as well. My only complaint was about the service—it was slow at times, likely due to the busy crowd, but the quality of the food made up for it. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been hearing a lot about Moulin, but it surpassed my expectations! The pastries are authentic and beautifully presented. I tried the chocolate éclair and it was delectable—definitely one of the best I've ever had! However, my experience was slightly marred by the wait for them to take our order. More staff during busy hours would elevate this place from excellent to outstanding. Despite that, I highly recommend Moulin! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was delighted with my visit to Moulin. The food was fantastic! I ordered the crepes and paired them with a lovely café au lait. The flavors were rich and satisfying, making my meal memorable. The ambiance resembles that of quaint Paris cafes, which I loved. I do recommend making a reservation or arriving earlier, because it can get busy. This place has quickly climbed to the top of my favorites list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I always enjoy my visits to Moulin. The food quality is excellent, and I particularly love their tarts and pastries which remind me of my trips to France. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it great to just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. I did experience a long wait the last time I visited, but the flavors were well worth it. Highly recommend to any French food lover! " (*Curated Review*)
