Atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, carefully and smartly laid
out for a small strip mall venue. There are multiple levels and an adjacent private room
that is private but sufficiently connected to the main dining room to not
detract from its size an depth. The dining room is sufficiently segregated
from the bar so as to protect diners from the noise but not the smoke even
with a minimal crowd in the bar - bummer. Black and white photo's of Parisien sites add panache and a flair of France.
Atmosphere - 3.25/5
Food - Menu selection while minimal provides
completeness with basic choices and balance. Entrees were tasteful and ample
in proportions.
Food - 4.25/5
Wine - Winelist, while short is carefully selected and
attentive to providing great value over breadth or depth. Lesser known or
renowned appellations (Gigondas, Vacqueras, and Monterey County) and
producers result in lower prices. While the list is unpretentious and void
of snob appeal wines it provides some great discoveries that are no less
enjoyable. See
review.
Wine - 4.25/5
Service was personable, attentive and amazingly quick
in delivering food.
