My wife and I have lived in the South End for about 10 years. When this restaurant first opened in Kenmore Square, we rushed to visit - in hopes of finding authentic French Cuisine. We did!! One, of not the onlty restaurant in Boston to service authentic french food - and numerous varieites of organ meats. They then opened on Columbus Ave., which is so much closer. Most of the staff from Kenmore (at least the French staff) moved to this location to our delight. We eat at this establishment very often, and, although reservations are now accepted at this location, we choose to sit at the bar. The bartender is a charming and very well informed man relative to food, wine, cheese, etc. He is always extremely helpful and very polite. Being Asian, many of these delicacies are foreign to us, but must truthfully say we have never had a bad meal here - which is why we continue to dine here. I do not even know the bartender's name, but we purposely sit at the bar for his recommendations. He has never led us astray!! Kudos to the owner of this staff for employing a great staff. The hostess as well is most courteous and we appreciate being treated so well. Having lived in different parts of Western Europe, we realize that being a waiter or bartender is not just a job, but a profession. This restaurant has it all: Fantastic food, great waitstaff, and a very diligent and helpful bartender. We wish you years of good luck and fortune!
