Restaurant Review |
|||||||||||||||
This very elegant French restaurant, located in a townhouse, is a destination restaurant to go for that special occasion where you want to get dressed up and experience a taste of France. The food is outstanding and on the pricey side. The patrons tend to be an older crowd who enjoy being pampered and are prepared to pay for it. It is one of the few remaining classic fine dining establishments with artfully prepared food, opulent decor, and service to match. There are several dining areas with the classic dining rooms on the street level, party rooms upstairs, and the Grand Allee, which is a decorated outdoor space. For appetizers, the recommendations are; the Maine Lobster Salad served over angel hair pasta with shiitake mushrooms, basil, and a sherry wine vinaigrette; or if available, The Grilled Diver Scallop on micro greens with citrus vinaigrette and garnish of slices of mango, plum, and nectarine. For the entree, the recommendations are; Roasted Rack of Venison with a carrot flan, sautéed spinach with a green pepper corn sauce and sweet potato gaufrette; or the Pan Seared Ahi Tuna served rare with wasabi soba noodles, julienne vegetables and a ginger and seaweed garnish with a kamaada dahsi reduction. Save room for desserts, they exemplify French excellence. Try the soufle or the heavenly Creme Brulee! The service is professional, attentive, but tends to be condescending. Not recommended for families with young children. |
