I was very excited to go and try their prefix lunch menu, and when we got there, they were closed. So we pulled over and started yelping other restaurants in the area but before we left, we tried giving the restaurant another call. They finally answered the phone at 11:45 AM and said they were open so I guess whoever was opening was late.
The restaurant was cozy, quaint, and nicely decorated with French posters and flowers. Our server was friendly, but barely spoke English, which I didn't have a problem with but if you're going to come by and ask us, "how's everything so far? ", and I tell you that the burger patty is horribly under seasoned, it's a problem when the answer is, " so everything is good so far? "
I got the prefix lunch with the avocado and tomato salad, Coq Au Vin, and mango mousse for dessert. In hindsight, I should've chosen the ginger carrot soup (soup of the day). The dressing on the salad just didn't do it for me, and I'm all about the dressing. The red wine sauce for the Coq Au Vin was delicious, but the chicken really needed some salt. With just a little salt, this dish would've been excellent. The bacon and mushrooms helped carry the mashed potatoes, but not seasoned enough to carry the chicken.
The mango mousse was pretty good, but not sure where it falls in French desserts.
My husband opted for the Yankee burger, although he wanted the bacon-blue cheeseburger, but our server said that the Yankee burger had a bigger patty. We asked him what the burger weighed, as in 1/4lb or 1/3lb etc, he said he didn't know, but he said the Yankee burger had the biggest patty of the four on the menu. That doesn't make much sense to me since all three burgers were the same price of $16.49. And only the Bliss 46 burger was $12.39. I'm not sure why he didn't want to go ask the kitchen. The burger was assembled well and held up, but the patty was grossly under seasoned. If it didn't have all these toppings, the burger wouldn't be edible. The fries were also well-made. Again, some salt would've gone along way. It was almost like they forgot to season the meat.
When I go back? Possibly if I was in the area, but I totally went out of my way this time and was disappointed. And someone really needed to empty that tiny little garbage can in the tiny little bathroom that was full from the night before.
