First, I've eaten here at least fifty times (I am very experienced at eating out...). This isn't just about ambience or drinks, the food is always excellent. Traditional Parisian cafe atmosphere and beautiful outdoor patio. Nice selection of French wine and cheese plates for the afternoon or evening. Breakfast on weekends is superb. The bloody marys are excellent, with 8oz Heineken chaser in the bottle. Some traditional French menu staples as well. Get there early for weekend breakfast or plan on waiting. If you are waiting, stop in the front corner of the restaurant for the coffee bar or move towards the inside of the restaurant for the full bar and enjoy a drink before the meal. The patio is available all year and the garden is available during a good part of the year. Nice views from the patio too, old industrial/new residential. Plus you can see across the Milwaukee River to another neighborhood. The atmosphere is great. Very close to Brady St. area and convenient to downtown.
Pros: Best outdoor dining, best bloody marys, best breakfast, wine nights
Cons: Never really saw anything I didn't like
