THE LIVING ROOM RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Excellent service, excellent food, and amazing ambiance.

The food was delicious, and Althea's service was just fabulous! Quick and very friendly.

Great experience here today for dinner! Excellent service and the food was fantastic... It’s a bit noisy on the patio due to street noise, but everything we ordered was excellent.

FLEUR DE SEL REVIEWS

We enjoyed a wonderful dining experience at Fleur de Sel. The portion were way bigger than expected as its a French restaurant the lamb dish was excellant as well as my husband's halibut and our sons ratatouille. The appetizers were excellant as well. We had one in the group allergic to garlic and the chef accommodated the menu to her needs. The waitress was funny and lovely. Highly recommend and make sure you check out the bathrooms.

I’ve wanted to try this place for like a decade, and it did not disappoint. Went for my 41st on January 28. Great experience! Even the photos I shared with Parisian friends said it looked local to them. We had a fabulous old French waiter. Felt like I was being served by Serge Gainsbourg, lol.

We Love the mussels and the rack of lamb, it was a great dinner highly recommend.

CASSISBISTRO REVIEWS

We came here for our anniversary and the food was amazing! We got the fish of the day, halibut with bussel sprouts, and the dish of the day, which was a chicken and mushroom with a potato cream side dish. The service was quite friendly and provided great recommendations. The restaurant is located in a neighborhood so parking can be a challenge. We will definitely come again.

I've never had a bad experience here. I strongly encourage giving it a try. The food is exceptional, and the cocktail program is also well polished. Wonderful wine selection, and knowledgeable staff. I would recommend making a reservation for your visit.

Truly authentic bistro cuisine with impeccable service - honest food at its very best.
