 | 	- We happened upon this place by chance; as we were parking some of the chefs were out back and said hello.  We were headed to the Hungarian place...but we decided to try this place, instead, after speaking with the staff and seeing the menu displayed.  The menu was impressive, and I've been on the hunt for a GOOD French restaurant.  
The interior is lovely.  It's painted a sophisticated dark gray. Were were greeted immediately, and checked out coats.  The bar was beautiful, the art tasteful and expertly arranged, and the fireplace was ablaze and provided a cosy atmosphere.
Our server was wonderful.  We ordered a bottle of Malbec and decided on the escargot appetizer.  It was very delicious. Then, we each selected our plat principaux; for me, a filet mignon atop a croûton, spinach, with a delicious sauce, topped with foie gras; for him, duck in a creamy risotto.  
I cannot accurately describe how wonderful both dishes were, because I am not a poet.  Both dishes were delectable, however, one bite of the duck and I decided if I died at that very moment, I would die happy.  It was that good. The risotto was rich.  I have no idea how that much flavor was packed into that dish, but, wow.  My steak was huge, cooked perfectly and tasty, but I'm telling you, try the duck.
We finished with coffee, chocolate soufflé with cream, and a French Coffee (with liquor).  
This culinary school not only helps people with its mission; it truly offers some of the best French food I have ever eaten.  We will definitely be back.  This place is reasonably priced and the perfect place for a date or a special night out.
