Le Pigeon is a cozy little restaurant serving up crazy good imaginative food, using many locally sourced elements. The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant, as are the busy chefs in the open kitchen. When they had the time they were happy to answer all the questions that we, and other guests, peppered them with. A great experience for a special occasion!
