"Food was good French onion soup was salty but full of flavor and high quality a lot of care went into. The tuna tartare appetizer was only ok… tuna was very tough with zero flavor, but sauces were decent. We also ordered a meat cheese board, taking several recommendations from server, which were hit or miss honestly. Non spicy salami option was very bland; duck salami was interesting and new to us. Soft cheese (like Brie but different name) was amazing, but Gouda was bland. Also, most of the accompaniments were brine based, pickles, pickled veg, olives… would have liked more non brine, like fruit, chocolate, different crackers (only came with baguette). Similarly, had two jams, but would have liked honey, mustard or different. Our server never came to check on us (and it was not busy until we left, we were the only table occupied at first, aside from two at the bar top facing street), but mentioned as he delivered our check we could have asked for other things. Would have been helpful to know when tray arrived, not at the end. On setting, was quiet cosy at first, but got loud and crowded. Only one table is low, the rest are high tops, and very hard seats, so know that it’s not a place to linger for 2 hours comfortably. Overall, was good, and we’d probably try again, maybe more of the food choices, but I think some other wine bars in area are better."
