  • I wish there was a 2.5 stars option. This place was very inconsistent within a single meal and that makes me love/hate this place. To start out this restaurant is gorgeous. It reminds me of so many cafes in France. Sadly the exposed brick and hardwood floors do make for kind of loud reverberating sound when the restaurant is crowded but for a good french meal I'd be willing to speak up. The wine selection seemed well standard fare. Some good bottles others just label good. My mom and I shared a bottle of Pinot Noir. I don't think it was aptly described on the wine list but it was very good. They had a decent beer list. Their cocktail menu had an odd martini on it that was pink which my father enjoyed but it was mostly cold vodka. Anyways. I digress. Let's get to the matter at hand the food. We started with a cheese plate. 3 artisanal cheeses, honey, fig jam, crackers, candied nuts, and dried fruit. The cheeses were yummy but they really didn't do much there. The lavendar infused honey however I could have licked the plate clean of the honey. It was amazing and the lavendar was not overpowering. No soapy tasting honey here. Then the soup. OMG the soup. Onion soup gratinee. Heavenly just Heavenly. The best onion soup I have ever tasted. With aged cheddar broiled to bubbling on top with fresh baguette baked in. It was orgasmic. My mom ate beet salad which she enjoyed but I can't imagine it was nearly as good as the soup. This is where the good stops. Sadly my entree left a lot to be desired. My husband had the filet which I hate to put it this way unless you cook the crap out of it it is going to taste good and it was perfectly cooked. My mother had the lamb stew. It was ok. I thought the mashed potatoes tasted a little fake but I'm picky about spuds. My father and I both had tartines. My father had the brisket. He liked it. There was a lot of beef and really in his world it does not get much better than a plate full of beef on bread. I had the duck confit. It was salty, over-cooked, dry, and well only duck no confit. It had a few measly pieces of over cooked brie on top but really brie and duck do not good bed fellows make. The flavor of duck is too delicate for cheese. Sadly all I wanted was something to cover the taste of the dry unpalatable duck. I didn't eat much of my entree. I instead dreamed of more soup. The desert menu was nothing spectacular so we skipped the sweet. It was sadly a bad end to an otherwise good meal. I suppose I will try it again and hopefully I just caught this place on a bad day and normally the duck confit is as amazing as everything else so until then. . . Don't miss: Onion soup gratinee Hit or miss: Speaking to your dinner companions Avoid like the plague: As much as it pains me to say stay away from the duck. . . . stay away from the duck.
