Decided to spend a special occasion at Chabrol, and was not disappointed. Main takeaway: the food and service are fantastic. I’ve had less expertly crafted dishes for much more money in this city. That said, read below for more details.
Drink~
The wine list, while shorter than other similar restaurants, is sure to please with selections from quality French estates. Note that sometimes it’s more economical to get glasses opposed to bottles—we could each have two glasses of the *very tasty* Chardonnay and still spend less than the bottle. Otherwise, we had water (sparkling and still is offered), sparkling wine (absolutely splendid), and an americano (they offer a good selection of espresso bevs). I did hear another table ask for ice wine, and it seems they do not carry that currently.
Food~
More good to say! We had the foie gras small plate to start. In all honesty, it was the least impressive part of our meal, but was still quite good! It came with a very tart berry sauce that is definitely noteworthy.
Our mains were show stealers. We ordered the pork shoulder and Ttoro (a bouillabaisse). Both were exquisite. It was cute that they provided me a proper knife for the pork considering it was so tender, I never needed it. Everything was cooked to perfection—the temperature at which everything was served was even perfect.
For dessert, we settled for classic crème brûlée. It was traditional in the best sense—everything it should be. Other desserts seemed great and more elaborate (the crème brûlée was the least expensive choice at $12), but we wanted something simple.
Service~
Waters never emptied and our waiter was knowledgeable and kind. It seemed like all the staff genuinely enjoy their jobs and wanted to provide great service. They alone are reason to return.
