| - This is a fantastic French restaurant and wine bar with traditional dishes that reminded me of the time I used to live in Europe. A large group of us went for dinner last Tuesday night after a work meeting and were the only guests seated inside, so it was nice that the restaurant wasn't too crowded. I think because it was warm that night, most of the other guests sat outside.
I had a very sweet Chardonnay that was delicious, as I don't like very dry wine. The steamed mussels in garlic, shallots and white wine paired very well with fresh, crusty French bread, and the bread also came with some kind of white spread (was it garlic sauce?) that I wasn't quite sure what it was.
So many delectable entrees to choose from, it was difficult to decide. I finally went with scallops in puff pastry, and it didn't disappoint. The scallops were huge, succulent, and sweet. They came four on a bed of cooked spinach, all folded into a gigantic puff pastry. Very delicious and hit the spot. The presentation of my dish was also very pretty.
My manager kept talking about how wonderful soufflé is, and we were excited to see both vanilla-raspberry and vanilla-chocolate on the menu. I had never tried soufflé before, but alas, we were too stuffed to order any dessert.
The owner was very friendly and provided excellent service in addition to the fantastic food. Definitely a lovely place for a classy French meal!
