Rather quaint French themed restaurant in the old section of Saint Augustine, we had a party of eight, and they did a great job of accommodating us, our server was outstanding, menu is relatively fixed, with no specials, I had their French onion soup, which was excellent, and my main course was good, what I was most impressed, they seem to have a reserve group of wines, which are not listed on their wine list, which are quite reasonably impressive, I was recommended this restaurant by a colleague Who lives in downtown Saint Augustine, and his recommendation was spot on

The seabass and hubby had sautéed shrimp, best meals we've had in St Augustine. Highly recommend!!! Sorry no pics, we ate it all before thinking I should tell all how great this place is.

Found a gem of a restaurant in midst of the tourist area in the historical area of St Augustine! The mushroom risotto was excellent and service spot on! Loved this. cute little restaurant...highly recommend!

It was a lovely evening for sitting outside in the private garden area or inside. We sat in a nice area overlooking the courtyard and had a great meals. I had the duck and my friends had the sea bass and everything was lovely! The service was excellent and the right combination of attentiveness but not hovering. Just love this St Augustine gem!

Service was excellent! We enjoyed a moment after sunset with some Wine and a Cheese board outside; the weather was perfect for it!

I love this place. Great little patio, on a beautiful evening. We started with Foie gras and was surprised how large the portion was. The sauce was so tasty, I almost licked the plate. We then split an order of beef bourguignon, which might have been the best I've ever had. It was a huge portion and even with splitting, we took almost half home. We splurged with a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, making this a great dinner.

I've waited to write a review of a place this nice until I had visited a few times. Last night I had my second dinner, with a wine and appetizer visit sandwiched in between the two dinner visits. They make an effort to provide top-notch table service, good wines, and serve well-prepared, reasonably portioned French dishes. The appetizer options are varied. This is where they lost the fifth star. I had two very good appetizers last night; the Seared Scallops, and the Foie Gras. The scallops were done perfectly, with the cherry tomatoes, roasted red peppers and mushrooms complimenting the scallops very nicely. The Foie Gras was smoky, just fatty enough, and swimming in a bread-soak worthy reduction. (Side note: The bread is quite good.) These appetizers are highly recommended. On a previous visit, I was pleased with the Ginger Tuna Tartare, but very disappointed with the Escargot. I'll try them again, but for now, the overdone little guys on my previous trip made for a weaker experience. As for entrees, I've had the Mushroom Risotto, Boeuf Bourguignon, and I've tasted the Confit de Conard (the dish my lady had this evening, and she loved it). The Boeuf Bourguignon was good, and the Mushroom Risotto was very good. It could have been a little creamier, but I'm being very picky. Their wine list is extensive and of good quality. I'd like them to be a little more specific on the vineyard and year on their list, but so far I haven't had a wine I didn't like, so no harm. Service was very attentive and competent on every visit. It appears this is an area in which they make an extra effort to excel. It shows in small touches like a free Crème Brûlée. We had developed a pleasant rapport with the waiter (Peter, from Poland.. he's one to ask for) and the young lady that kept our water glasses full. They kindly rewarded our positive vibes with a very good dessert. Reservations are taken by phone. No online reservations were available for any of my visits, although, I didn't need one early in the evening, early in the week. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is simple, but beautiful. In summary, this is a nice place to have a nice French meal. It is expensive, but you're downtown, eating unique fare, for St Augustine. Bon Appétit

Read this review is 3 1/2 stars We came here for some wine and appetizers. We were greeted promptly and sat down at a table for two. The person who sat us was also our waiter and we knew we wanted the escargot which was served in a delicious pesto type of sauce. Then we also got the froi gras which was ok. I've only had it once before, in Paris, and it definitely tasted better in Paris, but it could've been the atmosphere lol one of the pieces appeared that it wasn't cooked all the way, but I'm not sure the normal And then we also split the bacon and white cheese flatbread. It was very good but very greasy almost like they cooked the bacon on top of the flat bread is my guess. I normally go with a cab, but he suggested the Spanish wine and it was amazing and it's probably gonna be my new go to wine "Tempranillo" is the type of wine. When you go to pay, they bring the machine to your table and you put the card in right there and the options for the tip with 20%, 25%, or 30%. Or you could choose to do your own amount, but I have to say the 30% suggestion is quite greedy because it's not a cheap place
