YUM! gr8 service, they found us a spot at the bar at 8:30 on a busy Saturday night and it was super cool Jean, the bartender slash sommelier steered us to a tasty Montreal distilled vodka and quick with a witty quip. When I inquired about the variety of green pea tendrils used as garnish on a number of dishes, I expected a reply along the lines of... "oh yes, those are Little Marvel Pea tendrils" or "Oregon Sugar Pod II snap peas" or "Mammoth Melting Pea" a most friendly gentleman came by and went into some detail on the local retired farmer who grows their produce and offered us a tasting of their homemade crab apple marinade. No9w just imagine picking crab apples.... When we kidded him about the Christian name of our squab like in an episode of Portlandia he totally went along with the ribbing and proceeded to give names to all the dead animals we ate. As it turns out, this guy was the head chef, it's his restaurant!!! Very cool of him.
Every dish was excellent, the chocolate cherry dessert was to die for and we savored every morsel.
We had such a good time I completely forgot to ask about the obvious homage to the Francois Truffaut movie 'The 400 Blows' when they chose the name for this place, perhaps the owner identifies with Antoine!!!
YUM! Run, don't walk to this place
