New favorite neighborhood gem ! Frisee salad Loved it. Steak Frites also excellent. Manager was awesome. Service was great. Can’t wait to try Music Mondays. Looking forward to our next visit.....French Onion soup and the Steak Tartare !

Loved our experience here! My son and I had the chicken breast and duck confit. Both were amazing. Chicken breast and duck were so tender. We will definitely be coming back here, there were other things on the menu that were really looking forward to trying. Our server was great too!

Celebrated an anniversary lunch recently and had a delicious meal. Highly recommend the French onion soup, rib eye, profiteroles, and of course any of their coffees. Equally top notch was their service. Ask for Seda -- she was wonderfully charming, positive and such a delight! She really made the whole experience extra special.

I was worried since I haven't been here since they first opened (just because it's a bit out of the way for me) and saw they had changed up some of their menu, including the apple tarte Took my dad here for Father's day and was really happy with the food. The bread and butter is no longer complimentary but still worth it. The mussels and smoked salmon were all delicious. The food is also still very reasonably priced considering its location and quality. Highly recommend for anyone looking for French food!

Wonderful service and great food! We took my cousin here and she had no idea it was so close to her home! Wish I lived in the area so I could eat this all the time, but next time I'm in Cali i will CERTAINLY be back!! only reason I gave a 4 for atmosphere is because it gets really loud in there and it's hard to have conversation

A wonderful night spent dinning here. My husband is born and raised French and craves real authentic french cuisine that he was raised on. Not the overly fancy and overly don't french food, but the typical food found at cafes all around the city. Everything we had was delicious and brings back memories. From the real french butter with the baguette bread, to the steak with pepper sauce and typical french desserts, it was all done right! We will be back to try many of the other items!

I go to moulin often and had always been curious about buillon moulin and I'm happy I finally tried it. The restaurant is attached to the main moulin. It's quiet compared to its bustling neighbor but the food is really excellent. It's hard to find great French bistro food around here and this place delivers.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant since it first opened, and it remains one of my favorites, especially for my birthday. It’s a cozy and charming French spot with delicious and creative dishes. The French wine list offers excellent selections, and of course, there’s always champagne. If you’re lucky enough to meet the owner, he brings such an authentic energy that you’ll feel like you’ve been transported straight to Paris.
