The once in while Dinner service are a amazing. Sign up to their email list so worth it. This place takes limited reservations just like in France they don't over crowd the dining room. The chef comes out to check on all the dinners n to ensure that all is well. The food ohhh my the food is on another level. I can't recommend any one dish cause they very every time.

An absolutely lovely and delicious restaurant. We were driving through Cali and stopped here for breakfast. Honestly, I am sad to be so far away from here because I think about the food at least once a week. Everything we ordered was divine, presentation was great, and I was stuffed with enough for leftovers. The staff were so kind and the chef came out to talk to the guests. I highly recommend making a reservation and coming here. We ordered an omelet, crepe, and french toast.

I left this quaint little brunch spot pleasantly surprised. As we drove up, the size of the restaurant had me second guessing whether to step inside. But their reservations only system proved to be the perfect solution to the limited seating inside. Seating was cushioned and comfortable. There were plenty of wait staff available to constantly check on our table and they definitely did. We each chose a different dish and neither of 3 dishes disappointed. The Brioche French toast was a hit as well as the Frittata and their Filet Mignon Benedict. My favorite was a potato casserole type of side dish. It was unique and delicious! Call ahead and make a reservation to try this place out for yourself and be prepared to pay for good food… they’re no Denny’s price wise but well worth the extra cost for the experience.

Cute cafe in a quiet corner of a shopping center. Found this place on accident. Turned out it was a pleasant surprise. I had the Le Pore with the pave potatoes. My husband had the Le Steak with fries. The food was delicious, the price was great for the portions. Service was excellent. Very friendly ladies.

Don’t be put off by the reservation only policy, it’s super easy to get a same day reservation, we called at 10 am and were sat by 10:30. The restaurant is very small and located in a strip mall but don’t let that dissuade you because the food is amazing! We had the pastry board to start. The chocolate croissant and chocolate muffin were my favorites. We followed with the seafood Benedict with crab cakes and the Le steak Benedict with filet mignon. Both were served with pave potatoes and tomato provencal (sp?). The potatoes were creamy and cheesy and the tomato added a fresh herbiness. The staff were pleasant and attentive. I can’t wait to visit again.

Decided to try this place out with a friend who I haven't seen in a few months. We made a reservation at 10:30. We were quickly seated and then given our drinks. While we were chatting and catching up, we were asked multiple times (3x) by the waiter, if we were ready to order, we had only been there roughly 15 mins. After the 4th time the waiter came up to us to ask if we are ready, we decided to just order something because we felt pressured. While eating, the same waiter harassed us 5x! If we were ready for a "to-go" box, my friend and I had a full plate of food still. I would understand if there is a line outside the door! But there was 2 tables still available and no one waiting, so we were very confused as to why we were being rushed. We weren't be loud or obnoxious, as there was family louder than us. Even the owner/cook came to ask us if we needed anything else and at that point we were annoyed that we kept getting interrupted that we asked for a check. We ended up leaving at 11:15 The food was delicious but we will not be back for the reason above.

The best breakfast! The family owned atmosphere was superb! This is the complete opposite of corporate eating. Enjoy!
