Loved the cosy ambience within the family-friendly bistrot once we stepped in. The layout and decor of the restaurant is such that there are many intimate nooks (much like what I would imagine a real French bistrot would be like) where you can just be yourselves and languish over good food and wine.

The food was lovingly prepared. The escargots are a MUST-try! So delicious they were we mopped up every bit of the yummy mushrooms and tomato gravy with our crusty bread. On the other hand, the seared salmon was a bit forgettable. The roasted lamb leg was a tad gamey for my liking though I loved the accompanying creamy gratin. Couldn't quite taste the garlic and rosemary herbs teh lamb was supposedly prepared in. Scallops were done well albeit a trifle bland, if not for the seafood cheese base they came with.
Dessert was the highlight for us - chocolate & caramel tart with vanilla ice-ream (with real vanilla bean flecks!) hit all the right notes with us. The crust of the warm tart was crumbly while the centre oozed chocolate lava sin.
There were some hits and misses but overall, it was a pleasurable dining experience dining in this popular venue.
