We had a wonderful dining experience here last night. We were a party of 5 and I have celiac disease.
The atmosphere, service, and quality of food and wine were absolutely outstanding. Our server and sommelier were incredible and highly attentive. We chose to partake in the fixed tasting menu and they accommodated my plates to be gluten free where necessary. The sommelier was very involved, enthusiastic, and passionate in his explanations of the wine pairings.
My only caveat is to fellow celiacs if you dine here: they take gluten free fairly seriously (especially in comparison to the majority of Parisian restaurants) but do confirm gluten free status if you’re suspicious. For example our final course appeared to have some sort of cookie/cake in it and the waiter said it was gluten free.

I guess they don’t realize lemon 🍋 is in LEMONcello! Eye roll 🙄 Not a note or email. Just this request for a survey. I had a lovely quail appetizer that I shared with my husband. Two bites of food! I left very hungry and...
Read moreThis is the best experience I have ever stumbled into. Walked in with no reservations, got seated right away. Had to use the restroom and it was amazing, swanky! Anyway, ordered a bottle of Nebbiolo wine, had an excellent root vegetables dish as an appetizer and a lamb dish for dinner. The lamb was perfectly cooked, the sauce was so great a drank it on the side, couldn't let it go to waste. Finally had a chocolate desert. All while I am doing this, they where bringing out dish after dish of chef specials. I can keep going on, but I'll let you finish the review by going and finding out yourself. No pictures, don't try and document your experience in the moment...
