Hidden gem! This French restaurant is an awesome vibe for both brunch and dinner and the food is amazing. The chicken dish is a go-to and they know how to do sauces!! We are lucky to have this spot in Buffalo.
Had a really great experience with my family here last night! The restaurant had a beautiful aesthetic … the food was great! Both the floral and Franklin rooms were beautiful. Also the host was extremely nice and welcoming upon entering the restaurant.
Been wanting to come here for a bit and I'm so glad I did! Food and atmosphere were very nice. My mom sat outside which was quite comfortable. Would love to come again with more people.
Both of our dishes were phenomenal and the drinks were delectable. The atmosphere is quaint and upscale, and the service is incredibly welcoming.
