It's French provencal, lots of reduced sauces, very flavorful and light. Entrees are priced from $9-$15 (daily specials more). They have a great wine list, mostly from Triangle Liquors in Camden, also reasonable. They have won the City Paper award the last two years as the "Hardest Restaurant to Find" -- they're up on the 4th floor of the furniture design building at 2400 Market. They do lunch M-F and dinner wed-sat. And there's a great view of the river and train station. The two problems are: the menu is small and doesn't change that often, and since they just opened the second (smoking) dining room, the place is *very* loud. I don't know where they'd seat a party of ten. They do have a little "courtyard" set up in the middle of the building -- but you'd be completely cut off from the rest of the restaurant, which might not be fun. But you should certainly go for some other event. Enjoy. Libby
