This is a quaint cozy restaurant. The food was delicious and our server was excellent. We started with the grilled octopus and butternut squash soup. For our entrée we chose the mushroom risotto. We will be back!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Great service, nice wine selection either by the bottle or glass, the Truffle Fries were an amazing indulgence, and the steak was exceptional. We hesitated at desert but finally shared an ice-cream and I think it was homemade - terrific. Highly recommend!

Walked into this charming and quaint bistro in an upscale neighborhood. The three of us were celebrating a birthday. We ordered from a special "School Night" menu. Good portion sizes and good value. Meal came with complimentary warm bread. All of us had the endive salad...consisted of endives, mixed greens, blue cheese, pecans, pears and pomegranate in vinaigrette. Very Refreshing! Lingcod Meuniere filet includes sauteed potatoes, green beans, parsley, capers and croutons in a brown butter sauce. Fish prepared perfectly, beautifully plated, tasty and flavorful. Lamb Shank entree with kidney beans, was lean and tender with meat falls off the bone. It was juicy and full of flavor. Our choice of dessert was the delectable Apple Tarte Tatin which came in layers of thin apple slices on puff pastry with a scoop of vanilla ice cream added. Apple Tarte Tatin was light and enjoyable. Not too sweet. Food was AWESOME!! Waitstaff was warm and welcoming. Servers were attentive and very efficient. Our water glasses were topped off during our entire meal. Will definitely be back!

It's a great local restaurant - ambiance can use a bit of an uplift (i.e. wooden tables not very attractive or fitting for a French restaurant; could use mirrors, better lighting, French arts or posters; paper or tablecloths on tables, flowers on table and/or restaurant; small lamps or candles on tables...things can be done with one time cost so not to endure continuous costs in a restaurant.

The Café de la Presse has been our perennial favorite. The food is always delicious. This restaurant should be on everybody’s must dine list.
