The two ladies who served us were very pleasant, patient, and helpful. I ordered the Croque Madame. I had not had it before, and I didn't know what it was. (I now know it is pronounced like "croak.") It is two thick pieces of toasted white bread with ham, bechamel, and cheese, and topped with a fried egg, and served... More

Great French Food. Our food was fresh, of high quality, and cooked to perfection. Prices are very reasonable and the serving staff was very friendly. Wish I had a gem like this in my neighborhood. Jack Anezin

My husband and I had dinner here tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. The food is all prepared fresh, so don't expect this to be a quick meal. If you enjoy well prepared food, in casual, relaxed setting, this is a great choice. Our waitress was very patient and helpful, guiding us in our choice of meals when we asked for... More

Downtown French restaurant. My wife and I saw this inconspicuous restaurant and it looked interesting. It is small and cozy inside with a very friendly staff. The leg of lamb was delicious. This is a French restaurant where you have time to relax, talk with your spouse, and slowly enjoy your meal. This is not the type of restaurant where... More

My wife and I had dinner here Saturday night 13 April. The food and restaurant were excellent. The atmosphere was very casual and relaxed. Great food in an un-pretentious setting. I would highly recommend this place.

Stopped in for lunch after we were told this was a gem. We were not disappointed at all. Service was excellent. In fact, this is the first restaurant we've tried in St Augustine we can say that about! The food was superb. It is obvious the Chief takes great pride in what he does. Skip the French beer though (I... More
