Patrys is owned and managed by the second generation of the Patry family that operated the famed French restaurant of that same name on McKinney Avenue for so many years. \r
\r
Many of the same menu items are available, prepared to the same demanding standards for taste and presentation, and the quality wine list compliments about every preference imaginable. \r
\r
In a time when friendly and personalized service is at a premium, Joni and Daniel Patry, and their cordial staff, make warm and helpful service seem as comfortable as it is pleasant. \r
\r
With ample portions and delightful blends of just the perfect side dishes, their use of herbs and spices is as subtle and delicate as it should be, but simply make taste an exciting experience. \r
\r
Their experienced and talented chef uses only fresh ingredients, and his dessert surprises have to be sampled to be believed, but the word ""sinful"" comes to mind. \r
\r
This is a great place to bring the family, special guests, or for hosting business meetings or events in the private back room. \r
\r
I hardly ever give a restaurant five stars. But, Patrys earned it. \r
\r
Pros: Friendly personalized service, exceptional menu
Cons: You want to stay forever, but at some point they must close
