It has been a while since I've been to a nice upscale french resto, so naturally I found this place to try out.
The reviews were generally nice for this place, but they tend to be influenced heavily on service and ambiance. I wanted to stress especially for this review that my review does not take service and ambiance into question. That being said, the place is nice and relaxed, service is excellent. There is no line on the wine glass, and they fill your wine generously. all this easily gives them one more star ;)
We ordered ravioli and ris de veau, mains were saumon, and porcelet. Desserts were financier and kouign-amann. We took the plaisir menu, which also came with an amuse bouche, and mignardise, which were really nice touches.
The salmon is cooked at low temperature, and it is soft in texture, not to my personal liking but nothing wrong with it, there was a hint of orange in it which was nice. It is served at room temperature.
The porcelet is cooked crispy, over a bed of chopped bok choy. The combination is weird to me, there is barely any sauce and bok choy is bland so that didn't really work for me. The porcelet was cooked very well it had perfect texture, crispy skin and tender meat, but the sides didn't enhace it.
The dessert and appetizers were average, not bad but nothing exceptional. Although I have no complaints, it seems they just fall short of great everywhere. It's good just not a standout food wise.
We had a nice long dinner and the place has a real nice laid back feel to it.
