The dining room was quiet and comfortable. We ordered Assorted cheeses, and a half dozen Katama oysters. Great variety of cheese with crostini's and the oysters were fresh and sweet. My wife had the lamb was cooked to order very tender. I had the red snapper, which was one of the evening's special. The fish was very moist and nicely seasoned, that worked well With the couscous that laid beneath. The wines were nicely priced. Our waiter had many other tables in the beginning and it took awhile too order our wine and dinner. After a few tables left, the service improved.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMI will go.The escargot was great! The salad was perfect. The entree was really French. I love French food and get frustrated when it ends up being Italian. we have more than enough goo Italian food. This place is a nice alternative if you want something different. The waiter knew his wine and helped me select exactly what I liked.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMAs usual, a lovely lunch experienceAs usual, a lovely lunch experience. Since this was a business lunch, Philippe did a great job of managing a balance of engagement/privacy. Upon arrival,when I asked for privacy, we were given a great table to allow for free-flow of conversation without concern for being overheard. My colleague was very happy to be introduced to such a comfortable and enjoyable restaurant.3/14/2013 12:00:00 AM
