Third time back. This is my 9 year old daughter's favorite restaurant for special celebrations. Maybe because the portions are sized for her.
Just kidding. Sort of.
Always good food. Sometimes terrific. But never consistently, hit the ball out of the park good.
The bill creeps up on you. We can't ever seem to walk out the door with less than $80-120 bill for 2-3.
Last night, had the filet. At maybe 5 ournces, bigger and more substantial than the last time, when I think I paid $32 for 2 ounces. Seriously.
Last time the steak was perfect. This time, they overcooked it, but I didn't have the heart to send it back. So my wife ate it and enjoyed it, and I got her salmon.
Salmon was just okay. BUT, the bed of rissoto, one of my favorite dishes, was delightfully rich and creamy.
Overall, it's not a terrible value. And it's a cute little french restaurant. COMPLETELY and totally not appropriate for small children, so don't even try. Great date place.
Whatever you do, you MUST try two things:
1) Onion Tart - it's just a slice and a side salad as an appetizer, but OH what a slice.
2) Berry Tart - the deserts are what makes this place go. Save room.
Remember this:
IF YOU GO TO A RESTAURANT WITH TART IN ITS NAME, AND DON'T ORDER A TART... well, what can I say. Just don't do it.
Will be back, as I always have, and will promise to only feel slightly mugged next time I pay the bill.
