| | Eatery consisting of mainly one medium-sized room with a high ceiling, and some patio space out front. The interior seems almost designed to reflect sound into the middle, where on a moderately busy Friday night I found that I couldn't hear the waitress when she stood next to me and spoke. For a joint with chic French pretensions, this was annoying, as was the blowsy fat-potted plant in the middle of the table, dividing it into two separate two-seat arrangements.
Decor and dinner were not particularly stylish, although dinner was on the semi pricey side of things for this area, especially considering the just plain small portions. I wouldn't have minded that so much perhaps except that the bits that were there were not really scrumptious. I had hmm duck and pork with grilled peaches or something like that, only the duck was I think just about non-existent, the pork was two dry sausage-like things laid on a small bed of black and white rice, and the peaches were several not-quite-ripe, somewhat charred slices scattered around the bed. My friend's "tuna two ways" looked similarly forlorn. I think they may be too hip for sauces at this place.
I read that their fries are pretty good, though, and come to think of it, my friend actually made some audible exclamation about fries smelling good after a waiter walked past with a plate, so if I ever get lured back there, maybe I'll just stick with the chips. |
