Stopped in for dinner at the bar after some late afternoon shopping in the DD. Had a FABOLOUS time. Just got back from Paris and the experience hands down beat that of the 3 star Michelin restaurant we visited . There's so much thought and artistry put into every dish (and drink).
I started off with the deviled eggs. Decadent and very generously portioned. Very reasonable price as well. The only thing I would say is maybe a bit heavy on the dijon, but hey it is a French restaurant.
I had the eau de fleur which (pro tip) is a "champagne hour" special I think everyday from something like 3-6 for half the price. It was complex yet light and refreshing with a champagne syrup, tequila, elderflower, mint and mint/tequila caviar. Simply beautiful. I will say very light on the tequila so if you want some bang for your buck alcohol wise, this probably isn't the drink for you.
I also had the Celia, a mezcal mocktail which was VERY mezcal forward, but still good. Another pro tip: ask your bartender for a to go cup if you're in a rush! Love that they did that. If anything I would just say both cocktails had a little too much for my liking which interferes with enjoying the flavors.
The house made warm sourdough loaf is also quite good. As my main I had the gnocchi which completely surprised me in its presentation. The most unique gnocchi I've ever had. First, the pasta itself was crisp and pan seared (my fav way to have gnocchi) it almost seemed air fried because it was so light and just melted in your mouth. On top of that, it didn't come with a traditional sauce, but instead a melange of vegetables -- zucchini, olives, blistered tomatoes as well as raw grape tomatoes. Just .
As a treat, I stopped by the patisserie on my way out and picked up a few chocolate ganaches (pistachio and salted caramel) as well as a few macaroons (guava and rasberry lychee). I've never seen such creative flavors for macaroons (and I LOVE macaroons).
Such a delight. The service was also magnifique (Kevin took care of me). You can tell that everyone here takes pride on what they do.
Can't wait to come back.
