It was a nice restaurant, good service and food. The muscles were outstanding. The chicken entree was good, but not as amazing as anticipated. Definitely would return and give more dishes a try.

Had an amazing dinner here for my birthday last night! The ambiance was perfect, lively and fun but not too loud or packed. The service was great! We had the aged steak frites and pappardelle - oh my gosh yum! Also the baguette & butter + escargot! Will definitely be back!

Try: Steak Frites - Bavette Steak! Why: Got my steak medium-rare and enjoyed each juicy tender bite. They make their own house-made steak sauce. The steak knife wasn't as sharp so took some extra pressure and slicing. They packed the plate with mixed greens salad and fries, both were good. So good I ate the entire plate! Paired the meal with a French 75 cocktail made with cognac, champagne, and lemon. It was refreshing so i ended having two. Notes: Hostess and server were friendly and helpful. Cute restaurant with backyard garden seating. We had a large group celebrating a friend's birthday so made reservations. We were seated inside and it was a bit of a tight squeeze for a party of eight. Two clean bathrooms right next to kitchen, one was spacious and another small. It was a busy evening so a short line for bathrooms. Overall, a solid meal and enjoyable birthday party.

Came here on a Tuesday night with 2 other friends and got a table immediately. The interior is elegant, and weeknight dinner here is perfect with a lighter crowd overall. Our server was excellent and very professional. Our food came out pretty quickly as well. Bavette Steak - Excellently done. Juicy, well seasoned steak sliced and laid on a bed of shoestring fries. The small salad is a nice touch, though obviously not a big highlight of the dish. The steak practically fell apart with just my fork -- very tender. Parjs Brest - I usually don't do dessert, but this one is certainly worth the addition. It's extremely light and airy; the creme is hazelnut and has little crunchy sugar crystals. Value: 4/5 Quality: 5/5 Quantity: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5

A really nice breakfast/lunch venue in the heart of Brooklyn. My son knows this place quite well and suggested it to all of us. Good choice. Great service. Busy-noisy. Also outside dining. Front bar service. Great food. Cognoscenti-type clientele.

Super cute place in Brooklyn! Was nearby for a uppababy stroller maintenance appointment and had a couple hours to kill. So decided to come here for brunch. They have a super cute patio in the back equipped with heating lamps so it was nice and toasty there. Staff members were super nice. Very busy place for sure. If you want to sit inside make sure you have a reservation. My husband ordered the Bloody Mary which he thoroughly enjoyed. There were non alcoholic options for cocktail but I didn't think they were appropriate for pregnant lady like me at that time. Im pretty sure pregnant women shouldn't have hibiscus and egg whites in their drinks. I ordered the croissant and it came with a delicious apple butter that I highly recommend. It was so flaky and delicious. I ordered the burger royale and it was so good! The fries were so crispy and not too oily. So a great choice if you're in the hearty mood. We also ordered the mushroom scramble. The eggs were cooked perfectly fluffy and came with nice toast and salad on the side. My husband ended the meal with an earl gray hot toddy which really cleared his sinuses and he enjoyed. It's a great drink for the winter according to him. Great find in Brooklyn. Would definitely visit again.

We made a reservation for French Louie for 7:45 pm on a Friday! It was 3/4 empty with an outdoor patio space! We ordered the baguette and butter with Frenchie (salad) before ordering the cast iron chicken and the Bavette steak! The baguette and butter was the perfect size to start with and it was only three dollars! The Frenchie salad was very flavorful with the French dressing, some bacon, onions, lettuce and cheese! It was simple but delightful, opened our palettes for the entrees! The Bavette steak came with a salad and fries! The fries were great, they also provided some sauce on the side for your steak and fries! The steak was delicious and well made! They had generous portion size for the food that they were serving. The cast iron chicken came with potatoes and broccoli. The broccoli was bitter so that was odd, otherwise, the flavor overall was very mild and simple! Overall, great establishment to come to for an intimate dinner! I look forward to popping by for some brunch!
