| - We were huge fans of the original Coup Des Tartes on 16th street. We followed along on the progress of the new location, but it admittedly took us awhile to check it out. Even so, it was worth the wait... As our hostess put it, the new location is like the old one on steroids!
We toured and dined here on a spontaneous date night over the weekend. We went for early bird dinner on Saturday; I guess that's what happens when you have young kids sometimes ;) It's worth noting that we noticed two parties with young children dining while we were there. It's not a place I would typically think to bring my kids, but they do accommodate, have highchairs, etc... I love the many rooms at the new location. It was perfect for our intimate date night, but this would also be a fabulous place to go with a bunch of couples. It's also worth noting that while I miss the BYOB option of the former location, CDT now offers a full selection of cocktails, beer and wine. (You can BYOB if you join their Wine Club for $45 / year).
Nicole was our server and she was just the right amount of attentive and sweet. So fashionable as well. Jared and I shared the signature Roquefort Salad, 3 Onion Tarte, and Halibut entree. We each enjoyed a glass of wine as well. The kitchen split the salad and entree for us for an additional charge, but also made sure portions were still generous with the sides. I recommend allowing them to do this. Everything we experienced was fresh and delicious, made with creative preparations of locally-sourced ingredients.
We were too full for dessert, so we'll have to return again soon for that... their brunch menu sounds fabulous too!
