it's a cute little restaurant the food options are great. i had the meatloaf which was way bigger than i expected very delicious. my bf and i shared the bacon scallops and they were divine. they gave my bf a feee glass of wine because we came there for his beef wellington and it was way too raw to be eaten so they made him a new plate and it gotten a bit better definitely needed to be cooked more in the pan before going into the oven. the staff was amazing and very generous always coming to check on us.

We love this place! It has the most romantic ambiance, and the music is perfect and not loud. The food is always delicious and the wine selection is pretty extensive. The service is amazing as well. It is my favorite date night restaurant. My fiancé took me there the night he proposed. So exited we found this little gem!

Overall great dining experience. We made a reservation about 24 hours prior for 9pm on a Sunday evening through opentable. At 730, we get a call from the manager indicating they actually stop seating at 830 and that the reservation system was taking inappropriate scheduling. We said that we could get there by 840 or 845 the earliest, and they kept the kitchen open to accomodate this. Once arrived we had the restaurant to ourselves, essentially, and chose whatever seat we preferred. The menu had a great broad selection of French food. Cocktail options were also numerous and were typical in terms of pricing for a high end restaurant in Pittsburgh. Appetizers and soups were excellent, and for a French restaurant the portions were impressive. The mac and cheese appetizer could easily have been shared by two or eaten as a main course. The asparagus puff pastries may have been a bit oversalted but the quality and the presentation was overall excellent. They weren't trying to rush us either despite the timing hiccup, which I appreciated. Entrees were also, great - beef was cooked to the desired temperature (I went puff pastry again with beef wellington) and my girlfriend's mushroom polenta was excellent. Once again the portions were much larger than most French restaurants at which I've dined. We had dessert to go - baklava and German chocolate cake. Not the most typical options you'd expect at a French restaurant (they did also have creme brulee but not exactly a to-go item). Hopefully they'll sort the issues out with the reservation system immediately to avoid other people having similar mishaps, but I won't hold it against them since they were accommodating. Will definitely return.

God, that was good. I just had dinner here, and I wish I could have 15 more before the night is out. I ordered the Beef Wellington with chef's vegs. The beef was amazingly tender and the pastry superbly flavorful. The vegs were delicious and expertly salted and seasoned. Though they happened to be out of icing for the German chocolate cake, it was absolutely delicious. First visit and instantly among my top 3 restaurants in Pittsburgh.

We happened upon this place by accident and I am so grateful we did. To start please know that this is a true “your mom is cooking an amazing dinner” kind of place, and amazing food takes time. So grab a drink or two from the great bartender, sit back, relax, and if you are outside people watch. I highly recommend the crab cakes because they were delightful and mainly lump crab with little filler. A must try next time you are in Shadyside.
