| - I visited Poulet Bleu for the 1st time on their first Friday opened. I was so pleasantly surprised by how flawless everything was run. I made a reservation via the link on their website; when we arrived a table was waiting for us.
After having just been in Paris last year, I can attest to the fact that this place feels like you've been transported to France the minute you walk in the door (save for everyone speaking French and the whiff of arrogance in the air). The only thing my husband and I kept saying was that the tables needed to be 50% closer to together to get that real Paris feeling - you need to be sitting on top of each other!
We had an extremely leisurely dining experience - because, French Cuisine! We started with two amazing drinks: The French 75, which was very unique and was the best version of this drink I've ever had, and my husband had the De La Louisiane - which adorably came in a tiny glass with its own "sidecar" for refills.
After drinks, we ordered the baguette. I've been craving European style butter and this did not disappoint. The baguette was more a sourdough style than a try French baguette, but it was so tasty and really worked well.
For dinner we ordered the Pot au feu and the chef's cut which happened to be wagyu flat iron. Both were absolutely fantastic. Do note that the steak sauce comes on top of the steak itself...for some it might be too much, so if you're unsure order it on the side.
For dessert we ordered the soufflé - there were so many toppings and the banana ice cream was out of this world. It is definitely worth the wait! We also ordered the french press coffee - my only "qualm", which is silly, but my husband and I did wish they had espresso to end the meal.
It was an amazing dining experience from start to finish. The servers were extremely attentive, but not over bearing, and extremely knowledgable. We never felt rushed!
Loved it so much that we went back "just for drinks" and ended up getting the macaroni and the burger - both were also fantastic!!
