My husband and I recently visited this little gem in celebration of our anniversary following suggestions for special occasion restaurants from another Yelper. We took a chance as there were some mixed reviews and not a lot of commentary (a no-go in my husband's book).
We were pleased we did. A bit of an adventure just in getting there, this quiet, out-of-the way place presented us with delightful treats. We had the place entirely to ourselves - it was a Tuesday - and thus the complete and full attention of Chef Louis and our waiter. While the decor is absolutely out of date and not at all "in the moment" the history and nostalgia of the place were alluring and memorable. They lit the fire for us and left us to enjoy each other's company.
Others have gushed about the amazing Caesar salad which we tried and enjoyed but perhaps more for the experience of it being made table-side than for taste or value. Over $20 for a salad is a bit much.
Our main courses were excellent. Hubs ordered the scallops cooked well but not perfect and I had beef tenderloin with mushrooms, which in my opinion, turned out to be the better choice. The sides were nutritious with just a hint of flair.
Sadly, expecting my third child I was unable to sample the wine, though our creme brulee was DE-lish and they also graced us with a complimentary, candle-lit Napoleon in honor of our special day. Very tasty and seemed very French.
A lovely experience for the patient and adventurous. Would have been even better with music, but happily used our discount coupon via Yelp!
