    Met the chef and was inspired to try everything....but the menu changes so guess we'll keep going back. The restaurant is inside the Tiny grocery store....ADA wheelchair accessible plus pet friendly outside.

    We had a good evening in a nice calming space seated outside. All of the food was absolutely delicious... once we all got it. When meals arrived, 2 meals were brought for the 3 of us. We assumed the third was on the way. Several minutes later the server came back and asked if we needed anything and we asked when the 3rd meal would come out. There was apparent surprise. It turned out that one of our meals had been used for another table. By the time the 3rd meal came, we were asking for boxes for the other two. Most restaurants in this situation would have comped the meal, but that did not happen here. I'm giving the high marks for the quality of food (among us we had the onion soup and beef tartare for starters and the paillard chicken, the burger, and the moules frites [the missing meal]) and the outdoor space was nice. Just a note though to follow up if one of your meals does not come out.

    from the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel like VIPs. Super attentive without hovering, perfectly timed courses, and they even surprised us with a couple of little complimentary amuse-bouches that set the tone for the whole evening. The menu is one of those rare ones that genuinely has something for everybody—whether you’re a steak-and-potatoes person, a vegetarian, gluten-free, or just feeling adventurous. I went with the half roasted chicken (and wow, I’m still thinking about it). The skin was perfectly crisp and golden, the meat unbelievably juicy, and it came with this incredible herb butter and seasonal roasted veggies that were cooked to absolute perfection. A couple of my colleagues raved about the duck leg cassoulet—rich, hearty, melt-in-your-mouth tender with that classic smoky sausage and white bean combo. Even the pickier eaters at the table were blown away by their choices (the grilled salmon and the mushroom risotto both got multiple thumbs-up).
