It seems like there are Italian restaurants everywhere, and if you want to get French food you have to pay extra. I wonder why that is. It's not like everyone in France is rich and everything on a French menu is better quality, but c'est la vie. I was really excited to try L'Albatros. After reading the reviews and perusing the menu I was already prepared to order before I walked in the door. Parking was easy and with a reservation on a Wednesday night, we were seated right away. We started with the oysters. They were fresh and tasted delicious. For my entree, I ordered the cassoulet, a braised meat and bean dish. It was a lot of food and well worth it. It turned into two meals, which is good because the whole meal was not cheap. \n\nI just wish French cuisine was easier to find and there were some more affordable options. It's funny to imagine a chain restaurant like the Olive Garden but French. What would you name such a restaurant?"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . "2"^^ . .
