A great ambiance in this spot! The menu is full of awesome choices and I really enjoyed my French onion soup. This was a great place for a new years day lunch or would be perfect for date night. Service was quick and friendly. Planning to come here again!

We'd eyed this restaurant walking by. The vibe suggested 'good food is here'. And yes, the vibe is matched by the food. The fries from the steak frites are outstanding. The crab cake is excellent. Wine list is thoughtfully matched to the food offerings.

I had lunch at Recette today and it was divine! The heirloom tomato and burrata salad was delicious, best strawberries ever! And it paired perfectly with a Lagunitas IPA. I chose frites for my side and they were perfectly crisp...
