| - This place was absolutely perfect. Granted it was a beautiful evening, there were street performers playing some wonderful music against the background of a small fountain, and the street was alive with people, but the restaurant really made the evening. We were seated outside, but the street where it is located is closed to traffic, so it's very calm and relaxed. People watching here is half the fun.
The restaurant itself is a classic French bistro, serving well known items like fois gras and a charcuteries board as well as some unique dishes like the steak tartare with fries and salad. I had the duck confit, which was a little over-done but very well flavored. Prices are a little on the high side, but the quality of the food and the ambiance are worth it.
They have their own "vin du maison," which is cheaper than the other bottles and is served in un-labeled wine bottles. We had the white and it really is a perfect table wine, just right. They also serve Ricard here, and as soon as I saw that I was immediately transported back to France. Items on the menu have English translations and the wait staff is bi-lingual enough that your high school French will get you by.
Long story short: if you're looking for an incredibly romantic evening, go here.
