As far as quiet evenings with friends go - this one was one of the best. We started the meal with a beautiful full-bodied Merlot from Hob Nob. The *true* French onion soup was great. A taste of their buffalo mozzarella and tomato salad was too tempting to pass up. The cheese was so fresh it melted in my mouth. The fois gras was divine. Thick slices of buttery goodness...I couldn't think of the calories I was consuming! Then the main course arrived. Sliced lamb with mint jelly. It came with the most flavorful rice I believe I've ever eaten! I also tried a bite of each of my companion's meals which were each delicious as well. Our service was top-notch. As I was enjoying the meal, I noticed a curious person watching me out of the corner of my eye. As it turns out - the chef/owner, Duc, was making sure his creations were up to his obviously high standards. As the only customers left in this adorably quaint establishment (decor including a chalkboard wall), we were wonderfully entertained by the chef and his enthusiasm for French cooking - giving tips to my friend and discussing his ability to accommodate private parties who love his food . Overall...one of my favorite meals yet!
