| - I'm not surprised this place was packed on Friday evening, the quality of the food, the attention of the service, and the ambience were all first rate.
We had to sit at the bar because all the tables had already been reserved, yet, this was perfectly comfortable; the attention to detail and service by Ryan, the barman, was outstanding.
The grilled artichoke on arugula were unusual and well worth trying. The chicken livers had a crispy edge to them and crunched nicely, complemented by the balsamic and Apple. The buttermilk chicken was excellent even if slightly overdone. The veal was of a high standard but not exceptional.
We drank the good Sancerre and had a very good Nuits St. George, both of which were in the standard price range for these wines. ($ 75 & $120)
The only drawback, like Pastis before it, was at the ambient noise level was high. It was sometimes hard to hear what the other person was saying.
Certainly recommended to try.
