| - Had pleasant brunch at this establishment on the outdoor patio. Overall, it was a good experience with nicely prepared French fare, attentive service staff, and nice environment.
The back patio was very nice and I would recommend requesting a seat there if you are coming in on a nice day. The service staff was nice enough to move around the umbrellas to maximize the shade we were getting. Additionally, they were very accommodating when one of the guests in our party needed to be served ahead of the others.
For drinks, I had the house recommended Cambria Chardonnay which I would highly recommend for those who enjoy a smokier Chardonnay.
For appetizers, we shared a the foie gras with chicken liver. The dish comes with nicely prepared French bread and the spread. A very generous quantity of the spread is provided. The flavor was nice and earthy and had good texture, however, would have like a little more flavor in the spread. The bread was delicious.
For the main entree, we ordered some salads, the chicken pizza, and the mussels. The mussels stole the show - it was loaded up with a bed of French fries over it. The mussels were very fresh, had great flavor, and good texture - not dry and overlooked like a lot of other steamed mussels. The sauce was a bit heavy over the French fries, nice time I will probably order it on the side. Pizza was pretty good - very light and the chicken was very flavorful.
Overall, a good experience. Will be back to try out the dinner service.
