Thu, 28 Aug 2008 03:55:01 +0000 http://sidedish.dmagazine.com/?p=1358#comment-4502 Went for lunch with some co-workers and we loved it! The Owner is an authentic French Chef, not a local wannabe or Louisiana knock off. The soups (I had the Carrot) were all sublime and very fresh tasting. I tried the Tuna sandwich and I split a Ratatouille Crepe. Both were very good and I took half the sandwich back to work for a snack because it was very big. All of this for under $10!! The quality was way beyond La Madeline and yet the prices were almost half. Since it is right at the interesection of the 2 Tollways, we made the trek from Uptown for dinner two nights later in less than 15 minutes! My Wife loved her quiche and I tried the Chicken and mushroom crepe. We both had soup ( I had to have the carrot again!) and we shared the Nutella Crepe.... great again. We left full for under $25 total! We grabed some wine from the Wine store down the street at Marsh and Rosmeade as it is BYOB. The only complaint I had was that the service was a little hot and cold. They were either all over you or nowhere and they didn't bring our mels out at the same time. They seem to be new, so I'm sure this will change and the patio looks nice for cooler weather days. We'll be back for sure.... highly reccomend...go before they raise the prices! Went for lunch with some co-workers and we loved it!

The food is absolutely great. Chef Giles is very friendly and open to suggestions. The ambience is somewhat different for Dallasites but reminded us of little bistros in France we have enjoyed so much. We just hope he can get some more diners in there, as he has great plans for adding more to the menu in the future. The prices are unbelieveable for food that good.

The food was great if you like this type of thing and the prices were unbeatable for the quality you are getting. This guy, cool french cook/owner, must have a connection to get his meats and cheeses from Europe or something. I wish there was a place we could buy cheese like this in town! Definitley worth a try and it's BYOB.. read the attached for more reviews. http://www.chowhound.com/topics/539960 Read the attached reviews on Chowhound and went to try it last weekend.
