We went as a family for a special occasion: four adults and a baby. We were offered a booth or table and got one that was a booth back and table front with room for the highchair they provided. The food was wonderfully French, with things you don't normally see like sweetbreads and marrow. We had a great wine. The... More

Had a wonderful lunch here today with my husband and mother. We ordered from the prix fixe lunch menu which has to be the best deal in Fashion Island. For around $15 ea. we got a two-course lunch with choice of beverage. Our server, Mike, took very good care of us. Started out with some lovely crusty bread. Then for... More

I love everything French and so wanted to love this place. Delightful ambiance! Food was ok but not amazing. We had to drink water with our appetizer and finally got the bottle of wine we ordered served with our entree. That has never happened in my half a century of dining out. Can't even imagine how that can be possible... More

Merci, Merci, for the food and atmosphere. We were transported to another continent without the jet lag and scent of old buildings. It was a little like the decor of Paris Las Vegas, but not at all overdone. The cuisine was right on. I had the special lunch grill with the soupe du jour, my favorite leek and potato (perfectly...

My husband and I had a delightful lunch experience here. The menu was so enticing, with the many choices that brought back memories of our times in France. And, the food we were served lived up to our expectations. We chose seafood pot au feu and shrimp Louis. Both were delicious. Service was very good. The decor was pleasant and... More

Well appointed decor. Appropriate lighting. Mellow background music. Authentic Parisian brasserie menu. Many great choices. I recommend the escargot. Light on the garlic and properly cooked, soft inside. Steak frites is an old standby but exceede my expectations. Chocolate soufflé was excellent and enough for two. Bouillabaisse was light and tasty. Lots of seafood. Wine list had great variety with... More

I ate here for the first time during the Newport restaurant week. We were a party of 5 and were put in the corner under a light that was burnt out, so it was quite dark. Our sever never once asked if we had dined there before or if we had questions or even offered to explain anything. She mentioned... More

This is a great albeit upscale Brasserie in Newport Beach. Actually, it is probably the only one existing at the moment. The food was great as was the service. Portions are not huge, but then again, you probably could not each much more anyway. Very pretty place with lively people and background music. On Thursday night they have live entertainment....
