| - The cheese plate pretty much set the tone for our meal. The servings were generous- probably about a half dozen cheeses with candied nuts, perfectly toasted baguette slices, and a sliver of a date and nut cake. Delicious. We ordered it primarily for baby girl but she turned her nose up after a few nibbles. No matter, more cheese for us.
We got the signature mushroom dish, the tuna salad poached in duck fat, and, to be healthy, the grilled vegetable entree. It ended up being a lot of food for the 2.5 of us. Can't add anything that hasn't already been said about the mushrooms. The tuna dish was amazing- soft, flavorful, contrasted with sauteed greens and grape tomatoes. The portions were so generous that we couldn't even finish, sadly.
Our server was super cool about our cranky little girl and swiftly wrapped up our 4 plates when we had to call it a night. I think that he felt worse than we did about having to leave and he kept telling us not to worry. My only complaint is that we had a bag of take home but no cutlery. We've been doing too much dining out during this trip and other restaurants have been kindly throwing in plastic-ware with our doggie bags. A minor point, to be sure.
We regret not having the time to order dessert but we did pick up some of their bagged bacon, chocolate popcorn as souvenirs. At $7 a bag, it is a bit pricey.
