As a special treat we decided to come here around Christmas time for some nice and heavy French fare.
Our sitting was at 7:45 on a Friday and the restaurant was packed when we arrived. We were printout seated and given the menu to peruse. we decided on 3 appetizers and 2 mains.
Escargot , chantrelle mushroom salad, large charcuterie plate. 
Escargot
We like that the appetizers were served swiftly. Although they were very busy, the server was attentive enough to refill.our water and bread for the first round quickly. I loved that there was a diverse selection on the charcuterie plate. My favorite being the duck pate and the bison prosciutto.
Seafood stew.
Of the 2 mains, the rabbit was the winner. There was more depth to the dish whereas the seafood stew was just overpowered by the heaviness of the cream.
The winner for the night was the pear tart. Fresh crispy pastry with thinly sliced pears and caramel sauce and a side of vanilla ice cream.
I loved the attentive service and intimate setting, but IMO some of the dishes were not that unique. Given the price point there are other french restaurants in the area that offer better quality and value. I do like this restaurant but there are other options that win over it.
