Food and wine were excellent and service attentive. I was blown away. The chocolate cake had THE best chocolate I'd ever tasted in my life. So intense, so rich, sooooo chocolatey. No need to live anymore as nothing else will come even close to that sumptuous moment.
I'd heard many times that one could tell a good restaurant by the bread and the restrooms. If the bread is good and the toilets clean, it means there's attention to detail. This place had both.
However, it's not a place I'd readily go back to as I prefer an environment less formal and old school. I mean, it was REALLY formal. For example:
1. The place was quieter than a library. We didn't want to speak above a whisper, and this was rather uncomfortable, being too self-conscious to have a personal conversation. Plus, the servers were very attentive that I felt weird knowing eyes were on us.
2. The menu given to the female patron doesn't have any prices.
3. They kept pouring the guy more wine than me!! Old school French thinking is that if you served a woman too much booze, you'd be insulting her, implying she was a prostitute or simply one of loose morals. Gimme a break! And we couldn't even pour our own wine as they kept all bottles of all patrons at a common table against a wall. I really wanted to get up and get the wine and pour myself a full serving, but I figured that would really be too "hillbilly."
Overall, I'm very glad I tried this restaurant as the food was just outstanding. However, it's a bit too formal for me. Call me "plebeian."
