What else can be said about the wonderful little restaurant that hasn't been said already?
We were able to make reservations on Open Table for 7:30 on a Saturday night. We arrived on time, and the restaurant was full. The host was very apologetic and asked us if we minded waiting at the bar for a few minutes until the table was ready. We didn't mind at all. The bartender was engaging and make a mean French cocktail. Once the table freed up, they brought us over and gave us two complimentary glasses of champagne - classy touch.
For apps we got the escargot and steak tartar. Little disappointed the escargot had already been removed from their shells, but they tasted amazing none the less. The tartar was served with a perfectly cooked duck's egg.
For entrées OH ordered the scallop special and boy were they big and tasty! Unusually for me I did not order the steak frites, having been persuaded by the waiter that the lamb chops were to die for. He was not wrong, they were quite possibly the biggest lamb chops I have ever seen, obviously from some mutant, but super tasty, sheep.
Dessert had to be the soufflé - top tip: order when you get your entrées as this baked delight takes a little while. But again, our waiter was on top of it for us.
The patio looked very romantic, but obviously too hot in July. I'll be sure to come back when the weather cools off and ask to sit outside.
