Perfect place for our Girls Night. I was looking for a chic, cute place with a cozy atmosphere, and this restaurant brought it all. We both ordered the Chilean Wine Flight which the glasses were generously filled, the Cheese Fondue and the French Onion Soup which was DIVINE. 5 out of 5 stars, will definitely be returning!
Great spot in ballston for delicious cuisine. The food was tasty, but I mostly enjoyed the fun themed wine flights. Their diverse selection is used well to create fun tastings with dinner. The dining room is visually appealing and the service was great. Looking forward to going back.
❗ Escargot DELICIOUS! So flavorful with fresh herbs, philo dough and great texture!
Warm brie, very creamy and light.
The biggest lamb shanks we've ever seen!
Steak was on point and the white chocolate bread pudding was also amazing. Staff was attentive, fast and super friendly.
Was staying in a hotel around the corner from the Grand Cru in mid-August. I was greeted warmly at the front and offered my choice of seating. They have outdoor tables, but I ate inside. Not being a wine drinker, I came for the Gluten Free food as they have many choices. I liked the salmon dinner I had the first time, so I came back again for the duck. The soups I had were fabulous as well. My attentive server Erick made sure I enjoyed my meal. If I visit Arlington again I will surely come back.
Great friendly vibe in the outside area , quieter inside for private conversation. Menu was extensive as Carlos our waiter was attentive and efficient. Bruschetta was great . My friends ordered lamb rack which was huge , shrimp and andouille pasta , monkfish and I had lobster fritters with a salad beautifully presented. Great night we all thoroughly enjoyed the food etc but the very loud annoying drunk woman at a nearby table was a little annoying. Should have been handled quietly by the Restaurant rather then raining on 50 peoples dinners. We ordered a cone of silence for her ! We will be back though !
This is a good, pretty inexpensive European-style bistro, with a decent beer and wine selection and a good selection of light plates. The outdoor dining area is very pleasant when the weather is right, and is mostly shaded by the tall buildings surrounding the area and is also lined by small trees. The indoor seating used to be a bit problematic: you'd end up smelling like the food because the seating area was so small! They've moved to a larger space now, so I doubt that's a problem. The service is generally good and helpful, although I had to remind them to bring my draft beer the last time I went.
I didn't try these myself, but the menu has a fair number of European dishes that aren't that common here: frog legs, snails, duck and so on. My dining companion tried these and liked them very much. The pictures shown are of deviled eggs, baked brie, potato gnocchi, duck strudel, escargot, and frog legs.
Loved the great service here. We had the duck breast and salmon with the deviled eggs. Everything was great. Only critic was the duck confit in the deviled eggs. I thought that overpowered the eggs.
Hidden gem in Ballston! Great wine selection and the menu is extensive for a wine bar. It’s actually a full French bistro and more!
Wine flights were excellent choices. Very good decent quality choices. Highly recommended the lamb meatballs, very savory flavors and a mix of sweetness and freshness from the cilantro cream. Duck breast was cooked perfectly and well paired with the quinoa and sauce.
The drinks are amazing. The bar tender is kind and his recommendations were very helpful, he was kind and flexible and took time to help us. The fondue was smaller than expected for the price but we still left very happy.
