We went in, and waited at the door to be noticed for a minute or so. There was 2 other tables seated, and we asked to be in the back, however were told that they were all reserved for 7:30pm, so we sat in the front area.

We went in, and waited at the door to be noticed for a minute or so. There was 2 other tables seated, and we asked to be in the back, however were told that they were all reserved for 7:30pm, so we sat in the front area. We looked at the menu and made our decisions, and then sat for awhile waiting for the waiter to notice us again. For the appetizer we tried to order some Oysters and Champagne (as advertised on the chalk board) but were told they did not have the oysters (making the champagne un-needed) I asked why they didn't change the chalk board but he just laughed. My girlfriend then had the goat cheese salad, and I had the french onion soup. Her salad was quite good, with some crouton's with grilled goats cheese on it, and a decent frise/microgreen salad. The french onion soup came with a processed piece of cheese overtop a disintegrated soggy piece of bread, soaking in some unflavoured liquid with maybe 1/8th of an onion in there. It was OK once I added some salt, but I didn't finish, but didn't complain.

For entres my girlfriend had the black cod in pappilote, which came in aluminium foil, not parchment, and was cut open and left in the aluminium foil. It wasn't the nicest presentation, but the fish was cooked well, and had a nice medly of spring vegetables, but lacked seasoning. I had the steak tartare, which was creamy, with enough cornichon crunch and dill flavor, and served with some quite decent frites. The only complaint was again it could use a touch of salt. All in all it was a decent dining experience. I had eaten here before on a Friday, and the food was a little better, and the service was much much better. I would go back again if I was in the mood for a simple bistro meal with some good wine. Note in my price per head, I did not include the wine we had at dinner.
