We lived in France for 2 years, so I've had my fair share of authentic French food. The menu selection is definitely much wider than what you'll find in France, where most places only have 2 choices for an entree, plat and dessert. You can pick from about 10 choices for an entree (appetizer), about 15 choices for the plat (main dish), and 6 choices for dessert. A lot of the dishes are things that you would find in a traditional French restaurant, like pate, onion soup, duck confit, etc. as well as typical desserts like tarte tatin, creme caramel, etc.
The portion sizes here are enormous - it's French dishes but American sized portions; the plates are about 2 times the size of what you would find in France. The 3 course meal is $35 per person, and it's a good value for what you get, since the portions are enormous and you'll probably be able to take some home for leftovers.
It's easy to make reservations here or walk in to get a table, so it's a great place to come for a last-minute dinner. There are a decent amount of seats, and this would be a good place to come with a larger party or throw a birthday party with a larger group if you plan ahead of time and reserve space.
They give you complimentary bread which is always nice (and always a given in France), with butter (not typical in France, but still delicious)
Onion Soup - My husband and I both got this as the appetizer and it was delicious. Lots of flavorful broth, onions, and not too salty. There was a lot gruyere cheese and pieces of bread on top. It was delicious, and I know I'll get this soup again on many future occasions.
Salmon with White Wine Saffron Cream Sauce - I always love a good seafood dish, and this salmon was great. The sauce was flavorful, not salty, and unique. The salmon portion was pretty generous and overall, I loved this dish and would get it again.
Bread Pudding - The desserts here are enormous, about 3 times the size of what you would get in France! The bread pudding was just okay - it was a little bit dense for my taste; I prefer bread pudding slightly fluffier and made with brioche bread but it was still tasty. Next time I'll try something else.
I'm looking forward to more meals here - the menu is quite large so you can come many times without getting bored of the dishes, and overall, the price is good for the quality and quantity of food that you get. It's hard to find French restaurants with more authentic, classic French food, so I'm glad we found this one!
