This used to be such a magical place. Now it’s clear the bottom line is money. Smaller proportions ( the bread basket is pitiful), the salmon has shrunk and is overpriced. The flourless chocolate torte is no longer the sumptuous treat it was. The staff lack panache….. it’s so disappointing. And it’s chilly inside. The magic is gone. More

It is a good place but I am a little disappointed by the food. The goat salad is good but the block on cheese on the top is "interesting"... The snail are not the "french" way, missing the shell - lamb was okay.
Service was good - a little overprice More

If you want the absolute best French Onion soup, you must go to LeCanard! In addition to that, the Endive Salad is great as well. All dinners are fabulous. Bartenders, Giles and Eileen are the best, so friendly and fun. Looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner there as well. More
