A quaint little restaurant in a cute alley with a turtle water fountain and dolphin ‘benches’ that are instagram worthy. The restaurant itself probably has only 10-12 tables so it earns its name petit. We were seated at one of the high back booths you...Read More

Ask for Nahomi, order the soup of the day (if you’re like us you pray it’s the baby artichoke), order the Sancerre and then the petrale sole meunière. Do that and you’ll have a life changing dining event! Delicious food and extremely affordable. We’ve eaten...Read More

Go there on the weekends and get the combination plate. The menu changes every 2 weeks but we had the spicy chicken, the beef with the butternut squash, eggplant, okra and cauliflower. Absolutely incredible food. Friendly unobtrusive service. Total joy.
