the low lighting, rows of wine bottles downstairs, and live jazz at this restaurant and wine bar were perfectly matched with the ambiance of the city. we enjoyed a delicious appetizer at the bar - puff pastry with brie and pear, and continued with a really enjoyable (and big!) meal upstairs with a window overlooking rue saint-paul on one side, and the jazz band on the other. we had endive, apple and roquefort (sheep milk blue cheese - that was google searched before the trip!) salad; french onion soup; pasta (pasta and mushrooms was the only veg entree - it was great, but a few more options would've been nice); seafood; tiramisu; creme brulee; and dessert drinks all around. it was a really enjoyable meal, and the service was good. the jazz band was excellent. a great spot for romantic and/or special occasions.
