| - I'm going to start off by letting you know that I had a Groupon. When I mentioned it to our waiter Michael, he said "no problem, we'll just deduct it from the check at the end".
I was there this evening with my friend and my 4yr old son. We had a wonderful experience. So much so that I'm writing a same day review. We started off with the goat cheese salad, the rillettes de lupin (rabbit) and a bottle of bordeaux. The wine was delicious and the salad and rabbit so refreshing, being that it's pretty hot outside and both are cold dishes. I ordered the boullabaise and my friend a chicken dish. Both were solid, but I really liked the boillabaise. Our server, again, Michael asked if my son would like anything else, like mashed potatoes or something. I thought it was really sweet that he was concerned for his appetite, but he was doing just fine with the seafood in my dish. Already stuffed,
I believe the owners stopped by our table, one to do a magic trick for my son and the other, I think her name was Nadia, to chat and to over stuff us full of amazing dessert. They brought us 3 desserts, all amazing. We left the restaurant with a feeling of euphoria that I've longed for since I moved home to Pittsburgh, after 8 years in San Francisco, in January. There was a place in my neighborhood in San Francisco called Bistro Central Parc, which this place reminded me of a lot. Authentic French bistro style dining. Casual, yet delicious. We will definitely be going back there. My son asked if we could eat there everyday.
