Amazing new French restaurant in Hillcrest!
Our party of 4 made a reservation for 7:00pm on a Friday during their soft opening and we had a great time! **Please note that since we dined here during their soft opening, I can’t comment on how the prices and menu are now**
Parking/Environment:
As with any other Hillcrest establishments, be prepared to circle around for street parking. There were 2 circle tables out on the patio. The inside felt very cozy and romantic. About 5 chairs at the bar, a circle table that can fit 6, a couple of tables for 2. We were seated along the wall at a big table. There were 2 tables side to side and each could have fit 6-8. Where we were seated, we could see the chefs in the kitchen preparing the food which was cool to see.
Service:
Awesome service and hospitality by Shan, who happens to also be the general manager! He made our experience fun and explained the menu well. Our food came out fairly fast.
Food:
We opted for the 3-Course menu ($75) with wine pairing ($30). They gave some generous wine pours for each course and we left feeling good after dinner haha.
Off menu items:
-ESCARGOT and DUCK PATE for appetizers were delicious! Escargot came with 6 pieces and were delicious. Duck Pate was served with 4 pieces of bread and this honey mustard sauce that all tasted delicious together.
-DUCK CONFIT: served with carrots and mashed potatoes. Crispy skin and great taste.
From the regular menu:
-FRENCH ONION SOUP: generous serving for appetizers! It was so delicious but I couldn’t finish it since I wanted to make room for the main course. Served with 2 slices of bread on top and amazing cheese pull.
-BEEF BOURGUIGNON: there’s a reason why this is one of their signatures. The beef was so tender and it was delicious— would get this again.
-CRÈME BRÛLÉE: served generously on an oval dish. Would get this again too!
-For dessert, they had an option for “chef’s surprise.” One of us in the party ordered it but I honestly don’t remember tasting it.
Overall:
Our party really enjoyed this restaurant with its amazing food and great service. Make sure to ask for off menu items and make a reservation! Will definitely come back.
