The service was quite good, very attentive, but not smothering. The wine list was pretty extensive, and no more mark-up than any other restaurant. The menu was a bit on the paltry side though, with one soup, one appetizer, a few salads and maybe eight entrees. Many of the menu items were rather atypical for a French restaurant, and this was not a plus in my opinion. We both had the onion soup, a salad and the Filet with morel mushroom sauce. The onion soup was pretty good, and not quite like your average onion soup. It was made with many different kinds of onions and leeks, and the flavor showed it. My salad didn't impress me, though my GF liked hers. The filets were quite well done. They were cooked just right and extremely tender. The sauce was quite good as well as were the vegetables and potatoes. Overall the restaurant was quite good, but I don't know about repeat visits since the menu was so sparse. In fact I'd probably have to say that Cafe Allegro or Cafe Sam are more likely to get my future business. Oh, the place is also rather expensive, though no more so than you would expect from a restaurant of its ilk. --------------------------------esp------------------------------------------ James Stepanek NRA,SAF Graduate Student Materials Science and Engineering Carnegie Mellon University God created mankind, Samuel Colt made them equal.
