good food, generous portions

Loved loved loved our meal here. The French onion soup with the duck omg my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Also really enjoyed the Stuffed Piquillos Peppers. One of my cocktails came out in an adorable tea cup. The bartender was amazing. I recommend this place to everyone.

Great food, great environment, great for a date

Came here for restaurant week. Not sure how the regular menu is but my husband and I spent $150 and were hungrier when we left than when we got to the restaurant. The duck, escargot and the vol au vent were incredible, but the chocolate trifle and salmon crudo were bland.

This is my first time trying out this place and decided to so for restaurant week. Being French and missing some of my country's recipes reading this special menu got me very intriguing. Between my wife and I we tried both cocktails, good. Appetizers: salmon crudo, nothing special. The escargot were delicious ! Main dish: the duck breast: perfectly cooked, very well paired. The mushroom vol au vent was stupidly good. I personally always cook mine with veal sweet bread, kidneys and meat so I wasn't sure what to expect but this, this was quite something. My compliments to the chef. Desert: the chocolate desert was overpowered by the cherry, the lemon tart was sublime. Overall, a really good meal, delicious even. For me it would have been a 5 star slam dunk. The issue ? We both left the restaurant hungry, we are not big eaters, hell, I am used to European servings but in this case I unfortunately felt like I was in a movie parodying a gastronomic good experience, high price for small servings. I will come back for the regular menu which I am sure will be plenty delicious and filling. But this restaurant week menu while very good I cannot recommend it due to the size of portions (the vol au vent, escargot and deserts were portioned OK, the crudo and duck were way too small).

The absolute best restaurant in Philadelphia. Best onion soup in France. You should go here whenever you get the chance. The food is absolutely delicious.

My partner and I visited for restaurant week (01/27) and the experience was far below what we expected. To begin with, the service was very good and we have no complaints there. But we were seated in a very cramped corner seat with pillows, lack of elbow room, etc., that made it impossible to be comfortable, and the lighting was too dim for a restaurant - it's one thing if we're talking about a cocktail bar, but I (28 y/o, not blind) need to see to eat. We ordered both restaurant week cocktails, the escargot and crudo, one plate of the caccio e pepe pasta, the Rohan duck and the trout bouillabaisse, and finally the lemon tart and the chocolate mousse. Both cocktails were wide misses with very little flavor to the point of leaving us wondering if they were misprepared. The crudo had no flavor whatsoever and left us rather stunned at the poor execution. Both of the desserts were so-so, but I have to say the chocolate mousse came off very bland to me. The biggest issue of the night, however, was the trout bouillabaisse - this was the most poorly conceived dish that I've had in quite some time. The trout fillet was so thin as to be very difficult to cook without delivering something very dry (and it was very dry) but was also tasteless, it was served atop of a bouillabaisse on a flat plate. The flat plate ensures that you cannot eat the soup, and that the soup cannot flavor the trout. There were mixed vegetables and undercooked potatoes in the soup which added nothing in flavor and were difficult to chew. I'll note that the Rohan duck and the escargot were both memorable and good dishes. But for this experience, we paid $195. Earnestly, it felt like an evening that I wouldn't be getting back. I will not be returning and will not be recommending.

Honestly, one of my new favorite spots in philly for strong drinks and good deals! Their happy hour is unbeatable esp the one on sunday. The service is amazing! We love Lo and Devin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wheelchair accessibility: They open up the door next door which has a ramp and connects to a door inside the restaurant.

Restaurant week menu every taste sooooooooo salty, can not eat anything in this restaurant. Auto 20% gratuity for two people with almost no service. Never come again!
