While the competition for the best French restaurant in the area is fearsome, this David Wilhelm masterpiece is definitely in the running. Modeled after a Parisian bistro from the fashionable Bohemian era (post World War II), the decor features colorful wall art, gleaming hardwood furnishings and leather booths. Several different dining rooms and a special champagne bar are housed in a pretty European cottage.

The regular menu offers a selection of tempting small plates and "Bistro Classic" entrees. It is revised from time to time, but you can usually count on finding standbys such as French onion soup topped with Gruyere cheese, oysters on the half shell, chicken Dijon, grilled lamb or pork, and pan-seared steak with frites. Top-quality ingredients and attention to detail elevate the straightforward, time-honored recipes to gourmet status. While everyone has their own favorite among the entrees and appetizers, the glorious chocolate souffle is the hands-down winner when it comes time for dessert.

    Just a great restaurant - food, service, ambience. We eat here almost every time we go to Laguna (from L.A.) and it's always just terrific.

    Had an 8pm reservation. Sat down at 8:40.
    Good food. Good service, and nice live jazz in the bar.
