Solid French food in a touristy area.
We walked in for Saturday brunch and were seated within a few minutes since we asked for indoors. Feels disarmingly like Paris (I guess that's the point). Actually, a little *too* much like Paris... it was difficult to wave down servers for tableware, sugar, another drink order, etc. Not too difficult, just like I was in France rather than the tourist capitol of America.
When you sit they give you warm bread. Win. Wonderful, delicious warm bread plopped right on the table with some butter.
Decent onion soup, with a rich beef broth and melting caramelized onions- a little bit salty for me, but that's just me. Melted cheese and a crouton on top. Standardly solidly good, which is to say great since it's hard to get some standardly solidly good soupe a l'oignon in the US.
INCREDIBLE frisee and warm bacon salad with poached egg and a citrus vinaigrette- we spent awhile trying to guess what made the dressing so good and we still have no idea. The warm thick hunks of bacon went great with the light orange-y dressing. We asked for extra bread to mop up the goodness. Only wished there was a bit more frisee to balance out the heavy toppings.
Seafood crepe: meh. Scallops and shrimp were good, but I'd pass on this.
There are four stars here for that salad. It's that good to bring a three star restaurant up to a four. Yum.
