| - Went there the other evening for an early dinner with a companion. I had the TAGLIATELLE and he had the VEGETARIAN CASSOULET. I don't know. The food presented well but lacked in flavor. I was curious as to why there are salt and pepper shakers on the table. I can see why. My dish was rather bland in taste, and I was thinking, if I added a tiny bit of salt, I'm sure that would have helped. Perhaps they are being mindful of not too much sodium, which I agree completely with, but there are other ways of flavoring food with herbs and spices without adding to the sodium content. After all, I'm not a big sodium person myself. I don't know what they meant by "white shrimp." Looked like any other shrimp to me. Yes, they were large and tasty. I did take about half of it home, and I added my own seasoning to it, which, after having done so, it did taste a lot better. It is pasta in an herb sauce with some sort of oil. I guess he liked his cassoulet. He mentioned he would probably order it in the winter versus the summer. I didn't know what he meant by that. Perhaps he associates the beans and other veggies in the dish with something one eats on a cold, blustery day. I tried a bite, but got some of the goat cheese, and you know what I think about goat cheese. UGHHH! It's not a dish I would order since I am not a lentil person. It is a cute place. Once the place started filling up, though, it was hard to hold a conversation with one's "indoor" voice. The acoustics are bad. Would I go back? Probably not.
