The great experience started before we had even set foot in the place. When we called for a reservation, we asked about the beer choice (one of our party is not a wine drinker). They did not stock our wine, normally, but informed us that they would secure some for our party and have it on ice when we arrived--they did. WOW. THe food was wonderful. We had the escargot, the baked brie and the tartar as appetizers. All were outstanding. The duck entre was delicious, the scalopini thin, tender and perfectly seasoned. Steak au Poirve was a melt in your mouth tenderloin with a delicious sauce. The salmon entre was wonderfull and a huge serving. Each of our party of 5 were overwhelmed by the food. It is a bit pricy, but be aware that your entre price includes the starter of a choice of soup (two choices that night) OR a starter salad. All the starters were wonderful as well. I feel it was an excellent value for the money. The service was attentive without seeming to rush us or being snooty. Our young waiter was very knowledgeble of both the food and the EXTENSIVE wind list. I had read a negative review here, so was a little concerned, but the food and service were well above par. Let it be noted that we did find out that the restaurant has new owners as of 4/07 and that may have had an impact, but our particular server has been there for some time and I would expect his service to be consistently outstanding. Definately will return. OH and the Hazelnut Creme Brulee was an amazing end to a perfect meal.
Pros: Romantic, intimate setting. Great food and service. Plan for desert you ownt be disapointed
Cons: Hidden in the back of a strip center behind Chinese buffet
