Zagat Review: It’s like a “journey to the French countryside without the airfare” at this cute Ventura brasserie situated in a “historic home on the hillside” overseen by “skilled” Chef/owner Didier Poirier, who uses “high quality” ingredients in his “well-priced French American offerings.” “Fine” and “Friendly service” rounds out the experience; “it exceeds expectations,” “keeps longtime customers coming back.”
