Very cozy setting on a night with rain. Had a reservation for 5:30 so the restaurant was not yet busy, but later in a hour plus many of the tables were filled - a couple of family parties. I had not been to Faubourg, but my friend has been here several times and enjoys the ambience and food. Looks like two buildings with a space in between were connected and the space in between was made into a lounge with a glass roof and many trees and plants. Gave the place a nice feeling.
We started with drinks and two appetizers - babaganoush and tuna tartar & lime. Both were great starters and gave us time to catch up. Didn't really look at the menu for dinner until we started on the apps. I believe there was a bread basket as well, or maybe it was the toast from the babaganoush. Server brought carafes of sparkling water and plain water - which was a nice touch. I hate asking them to refill my glass while they are busy serving food or clearing tables.
I had the Roasted chicken & Meyer lemon with broccolini, carrot, white bean in a tarragon jus. My colleague had one of the sirloin steaks on the menu. We had some sides including fingerling potatoes and super green spinach. My dish was nicely prepared, ample chicken - probably a chicken quarter, with the lemon sauce on the side in small dots circling the dish, sitting next to the bed of vegetables, also coated with the lemon sauce. Nice flavor, not too tart, but flavorful. Great on the fingerling potatoes and spinach sides. Server was attentive, but not too overbearing.
Could see the kitchen in the back with the chefs moving through the dishes.
No dessert, but enjoyed the restaurant thoroughly. Will try to visit again. I did not look to see if there was close parking, besides on the street. We parked across the street behind the building in a municipal lot with meters that accepted credit card. OK, but it was raining. No valet offered, no signage saying parking available around back. Definitely a nice place for a quiet dinner.
