Came here for dinner, they honored the reservation in timely fashion.

Food: Menu itself was weird - first few pages were itemised in nice text then following that were pages of colorful pictures of combos and dinner sets... menu didn't feel it matched any theme nor was it cohesive as a whole.
Mussels with white wine sauce: Yum, mussels were the smaller sized type and the broth was very tasty, went will dipped with the soft bread served.
Steak with potatoes and green beans: Very mediocre. The meat quality wasn't what I expected, although it was cooked to the right temperature. It was a very thin beef strip steak. The paired steak sauce was separate and very nice. Came with choice of mustard as well.
Smoked halibut with potatoe salad: Also just okay. The smoke flavor was very intense, but not sure it was a dish that can be eaten entirely because the flavor was so intense that as you get through a few bites, it gets a bit tiresome. The potato salad was served cold and that was not very well matched with the fish. Would have prefered some greens to keep the dish more light.
Service: Was fine.
Sizing it up: The food was just average, and not that authenticly French. The menu speaks for itself on the type of atmosphere or theme the restaurant is trying to create - its very thrown together and not to the level of fine dining at all. The space is quite small and decor very dim. The experience I had does not warrant another visit from me.
