A great place for some authentic French dining experience!
We went for lunch and desserts.
Pastries get 5 starts, and the food gets 4.
I only got to taste the macaroons and the French baguette, but I'm going off a friend's review that all the pastry/dessert items are top notch. She lived in France for years and took home some $50 of desserts after lunch. That says it all. So I trust her and give them 5 stars on the desserts. The baguette was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside with warm puffs of air with every bite. The macaroons were amazing, but to be honest, they were not better than the ones from Shorewood's North Shore Boulangerie...
On to the food.
Oh, and I didn't quite realize from looking up the pictures on yelp before we arrived, but they have a bigger dining area upstairs, so what you see when you enter is not all. Plenty of room for a nice dinner.
Confit de canard crepe
The crepe was delicious, but personally, I wasn't wowed by the duck confit. It might be just me - I've not had it much to begin with, so I may just not like duck confit in general. I like duck - but more the Peking style.
Filet de Boeuf with fries
Both the fries and the sandwich was great. If you're into large portions, don't think you'll get it here. But again, the bread was flawless, but the beef itself was a bit lacking in taste.
Crostini de Brie
Basically baguettes topped with brie and toasted. Ooh, they had some good brie and I've already raved about their baguette.
Moules marniere
Mussels in sauce - true French style and quite amazing.
Overall, the breads and the appetizers were top notch, but the entrees themselves were somewhat lacking personally. I would like to try their dinner menu before giving up on the dining experience though.
