This is my favorite place downtown for special occasions with special people. It is a somewhat small, dark bistro just behind the Shakespeare theaters. The atmosphere is quiet and refined, easily romantic, but also homey. I have often ducked in with a party before a play for soup and salad (rich enough for a meal) and come back again later for midnight creme brulle. The entree list is not extensive, but varies, and each item is carefully planned and executed. The scallops I had last time were the most divine I've had anywhere. I also had a peach martini with a dollop of sherbet from the festive cocktail list, and an almond mousse.
