“ This place is a vibe, both food and atmosphere. I had a TERRIFIC goat cheese salad: large, plenty of warm goat cheese on big toast points, apple slivers, nuts, excellent lettuce and greens and light but delicious dressing. My friend’s veg lasagna was also delicious and a great portion size. The recommended dry wine was TERRIFIC. Service was meh but hey it’s France! Great neighbourhood local. ”
