Unless you're fluent in French don't bother. Our waitress was quite rude and absolutely uninterested in providing good service and/or helping us with our orders. We struggled with the menu and were told to use Google translate. Food came quickly and quality was good but for the atmosphere and service I would not return! It is also very pricey.
