We had dinner there for my wifes birthday. We were seated upstairs in the masionette turned restuarant.
Very nice, plush, romantic.
Food was French style and overall very good. The entrees came with the best au gratin potatoes Ive had.
The food quality over all was 8 out of 10.
My problem was with the Duck Terrine, all capers, cornichons and olives on a mound of red leaf lettuce. 4 teaspoon sized quarters of pate for $10.50. I didnt even bother eating it and sent it back…Garnish of pate’ for almost $3 a bite, no thanks.
It took forever to have it replaced by a watercress soup and the server did some gymnastics with the bill giving me a dessert and a half rather tha taking the pate’ off the bill???
The wild salmon on puff pastry my wife had was exceptonal as was my grilled shrimp and scallops bearnaise (although it looked like buerre blanc with a tarragon reduction, not Hollandaise with tarragon as it is classically)
I thought the service was a bit distant as we poured our own wine, Estancia Pinot Noir, and waited forever to return the pate.
Desserts were good.
Overall a romantic place, real busy too for a Thursday night.
They must be doing something right!
I still dont get why people have to get on the cell phone during dinner, I did not need to hear the guy 4 feet from me discuss his net worth and try and shield his lips from my view, like I cared!!
