| - I had been wondering about this place as I pass by it a lot, and have heard rave reviews, so was fortunate to secure a reservation the other night. Seated promptly, nice looking restaurant, though they didn't have the heat on and it was freezing.. Heeding the warnings of other posters, I specifically asked for no added salt, and while my cassoulet was still on the salty side, it was quite good, my other dining companions had the pot roast, both agreed it was salty. They shouldn't have to hide flavor issues with too much salt. We tried the famous bone marrow appetizer.... wouldn't have that again, basically flavorless - and salty.
The service was not what one would expect for a restaurant in this price range ($140 for 3, with tip, no drinks, no dessert), just mediocre. Someone needs to focus on proper serving for a table. One should not have to ask for basic things like extra water.
My meal itself was good - not "scream out loud this is the best place I have ever been" - but good. Would I go back? Probably not simply due to the salt level and the poor service.
