This is the best food in Fresno/Clovis. We?re sad that we only found out about it months before we?re moving out to a different... state- so we?ve been making up for lost time by coming here as often as we could. The ambience is pleasant, the service isfriendly and attentive, the vibe is personable, and the food is genius. Our favorites are the lobster risotto, the chickengnocchi, the tuna carpaccio; but honestly, everything we?ve tried have exceeded counterparts elsewhere in the Fresno/Clovis area(including the tender and flavorful chateaubriand). Even the off menu items (the lamb) are phenomenal. The chef definitely putshis thoughts into every dish. Hidden gem! PS- dip your bread into ?everything! Read more

Came here for an anniversary date night and we loved it! The service was excellent and our waitress was super knowledgeable. She... asked if it was our first time and she went over the menu, highlighting popular dishes. Our first time having frog legs and theywere so good, seasoned very well. The pasta sauce was homemade and had a sweet-tangy taste to it. The paella had great heat toit and flavorful. The protein portions were very generous. We tried three different mixed drinks (Stockholm royale, French kiss,and Neroli) and enjoyed every single one. Definitely will return. Read more
Incredible tapas. Highly recommend the spicy mussels and spicy scallops. However, entrees aren?t great - shrimp and gnocchi and... paella were not tasty. Would recommend doing tapas only. It is a bit too expensive to only eat tapas, but the spicy scallopswarrant giving this restaurant 4 stars. Of the desserts, the crème brûlée is a must have. Read more
This is in the old Shenanigans club. Same layout but different decor. Dark ambience. Clean. Our waitress was so helpful with it... being our first time, and she was patient with us too. Customer and table service was perfect. Booths are comfortable. Food wastasty. But Dee was disappointed because her 3 scallops plate cost her $39. Expensive place but worth trying at least once:) Read more
The vibe is amazing. The food is the best here in the Central Valley. The owner went to Culinary school in France and never... disappoints on all the dishes. The variety of drinks here is fantastic! I love bringing friends here and the Chef makes thepeople feel welcomed. Read more
Well Fresno surprises again! In a quiet strip mall off the beaten path, lies a French inspired restaurant headed by a taste bud... tentilizing genius. Thomas dances on your tongue with his magic fingers as he conducts sauces of a lifetime. If you hate flavor,don?t come here. But for those thirsty to experience life one flavor at a time you found your holy match. A must eat atrestaurant in this town of farm to table. To top it off the service is like tying a bow on top of a present. Read more
