| - Cheuvront, as the name appears, is evidentially not French, as I first theorized. The only thing remotely French here was the Filet Mignon that was part of the customized menu for the Birthday Event I attended.
The scene here was kind of refreshing compared to many places in the Valley. It's not everyday you can sip on fine wine, munch on exotic cheese and hear the sounds of a LIGHT passenger train swift by.
One of the best parts of the venue was actually mingling within the cool exclusive, private area where you can lounge on sofas or sit on high chairs at your tables that seated four. Interestingly, they had these transparent curtains that kind of snaked around each table creating almost an intimate feel. It was even more so that the lighting was set to dim with candle lights and modern pendant lighting hovering the tables.
The true highlights went to the food. I started my night with a Mango Mojito! It was an excellent, tasty drink BUT where was the alcohol? Did they run out?! Ahh! $8 for a virgin-like drink?! I did feel ripped off, however, they won me over with:
Apps:
* Warm fresh baguette!
* Pâté: super good!
Main Entrées:
* Nicely prepared DUCK breast over very flavorful risotto with some crunchy asparagus pieces (style points with the artsy presentation!)
* The orange glazed SALMON had this nice surface texture while the inside remained moist and tender. The Fingerling Potato Wedges, surprisingly, complemented it very well.
Lastly, they were very courteous to help slice and box (any leftover) a Birthday Cake that was brought from outside. Extra points for added service.
Overall, it was a great venue to have a nice, cozy dinner with your closest friends in an urbanesque setting.
