The French Gourmet

We purchased pastries from the bakery and also ate in the restaurant. The pastries were delicious with the exception of the macrons. They were too sweet and weren 't nearly as good as you would get in Paris. We bought 10 and didn 't eat all of them and we love macrons. The restaurant was a lovely experience. The staff were relaxed and friendly, totally giving a sense of 'settle in and enjoy yourself '. The beet/pear salad (which was new to the menu) was a huge hit. I can 't tell you the last time I had a salad that I raved about. We had the carpaccio as an appetizer, which was quite nice. My husband had the flatiron steak. He really enjoyed it. I ordered the rack of lamb, which was quite goo...

Great Escargot! Salads were great. I wish I had ordered the flat iron steak, my friend's was great. If you are going to go make sure to order something you wouldn't make at home. The chicken was so so . I should have gone with duck. We weren't told the specials, heard them told to the table next to us and I would have gone with one of those as well but we had already put our order in. But got to cut restaurant slack now you know they're running on lower staff and great chef turnover. But it was nice to be in somewhere that seemed pretty busy at least.

We went for San Diego Restaurant Week 2022. We always like to come back to this cozy little place. We always love their food and great service. On this time there was a fixed price menu due to the SDRW, but with their best dishes, so it is a good deal to try it. They also have a bakery so you can buy your favorite desserts to take home. We always come back and we usually do on special occasions, since we know we'll have a great experience.

I've been here for regular and SDRW. Amazing as always. It's small and comfortable. I like the servers and the atmosphere. Their menu is great. Honestly, when someone asks me where to go for French food, I always recommend this place. I am not quite sure about authenticity but I'd like to think it's similar to what I'd get in France. Highly recommended

Great little place for brunch! We all got the French toast and we all loved it. The three of us also split a bottle of champagne and got orange and pineapple juice to make our own mimosas at the table. It was all delicious and their outside dining area is cute and cozy with comfortable chairs. I didn’t take any pastries home, but next time I will!
