Popular place located in Carytown with a focus on french cuisine. From the start the experience is great. As you walk in there is a small flower market on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. The service is efficient and polite and very helpful in answering questions about various dishes. The food is exquisite. The bread is made in house and differs regularly. Very artistic and romantic. Shopping is fantastic all around this destination, great people watching area too. Located on a one-way street with free parking lot next to Can Can as well as on the street.
