| - I Ate dinner here the other night with my fiancee and father-in-law to be and I was pleasantly surprised by Steak Frites. Overall the service was great, the food was good, and the price was very reasonable.
My fiancee and I shared the escargot for our entree. The escargot themselves were very nice and tender. The sauce was exactly what you would expect, a lovely mixture of butter, garlic and herbs. Vampires beware.
For my main, I had the duck confit, which was a steal at less than $20. The duck showed good technique, with crisp skin covering a juicy piece of leg meat on the bone. The vegies and potatoes that came with were equally well cooked. My fiancee and future father-in-law had the tagliatelle and mussels, respectively. Both of them really enjoyed these dishes. However, I think the tagliatelle is an odd thing to order, or to even be on the menu, at a french restaurant.
The portion sizes were very appropriate and left us with not quite enough room to enjoy some desert. Next time, I may have to forgo the escargot so I can try the chocolate mouse or lemon tart.
Since we live down the street from Steak Frites, this just may become our new neighborhood restaurant.
