It's a shame there aren't more French restaurants around. It seems like there are Italian restaurants everywhere, and if you want to get French food you have to pay extra. I wonder why that is. It's not like everyone in France is rich and everything on a French menu is better quality, but c'est la vie. I was really excited to try L'Albatros. After reading the reviews and perusing the menu I was already prepared to order before I walked in the door. Parking was easy and with a reservation on a Wednesday night, we were seated right away. We started with the oysters. They were fresh and tasted delicious. For my entree, I ordered the cassoulet, a braised meat and bean dish. It was a lot of food and well worth it. It turned into two meals, which is good because the whole meal was not cheap.
I just wish French cuisine was easier to find and there were some more affordable options. It's funny to imagine a chain restaurant like the Olive Garden but French. What would you name such a restaurant?
