| - We heard about this new restaurant and were attracted to the beautiful artwork they display. It is worth a trip just to see the artwork alone-murals, paintings, brightly colored walls, great lighting and music. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. One of the owners introduced himself and checked in on repeatedly us throughout the night, and our waiter Gael worked tirelessly to keep us happy all evening. The menu also attracted us, lots of fresh seafood platters to share, great steaks and little ceramic ramekins filled with yummy side dishes, not to mention their amazing sauce list that you get to choose from. Little did we know, the head chef is from Nice, and trained at Michelin star restaurants in France. This became apparent as the evening progressed, each course deliciously prepared and served with style and flair, the sirloin steak was perfectly cooked as were the oysters, mussels, mashed potatoes, and sides of cauliflower, kale and other veggies. The chef came out to visit us as well several times and make sure we were happy with our meals. The portions were very generous and the chef sent extra oysters out for everyone to try as well as lobster on the house for us all to taste. Pure class, all the way. They are very attentive and accommodating to allergies as well, which we appreciated. Many little touches enhanced the experience, like sand filled timers that come with your tea leaves so you can make yourself a perfectly timed cup of tea, many dishes are assembled at the table which is also fun to watch and the desserts are over the top! You must try the brownie, banana, ice cream sundae, it is a piece of artwork, looks like a giant volcano, overflowing with chocolate and caramel lava, and adorned with caramelized nuts and home made meringue straws and meringue lava served on a giant glass platter (so big it took two waiters to carry it out!) We literally applauded when they brought it to us, and again the chef sent us extra portions so all six of us could try it... Drinks were great too! All in all, it was a five star night! Something to please everybody...Good job Etre Avec Toi!!! I think this would be a great place to host a 40th birthday party or a special event... We went on Christmas eve and it certainly was a magical night!
