We came here on our first childfree dinner out in a year. I had never heard of it before, despite living in the area for 3 years. The menu is supposed to be a roadtrip through europe, and they do a sensational job of this theme.
The restaurant layout is small, with some low tables and some high tables and some seating along the bar. The kitchen is partly in the restaurant and you can see the chefs cooking and finishing up the food. The waitstaff are dressed like traditional french waiters in white and black and they are very attentive, friendly and concerned you are enjoying your meal. They are very knowledgeable about the food too.
The Bread is served with Swhvartz, a southern german butter like mixture of rendered fat, crackling and herbs. Much like dripping but classier.
The menu is simple, each section has about 4 to 6 dishes, organised by origin. The chef has taken traditional dishes and reimagined them adding some lovely additions. We had the Duck Confit Cassoulet and the Beef Short Rib with Red Cabbage and Potato Latkes. The portions are good for large size meals.
We also sampled the dessert menu with a delicious Creme Brulee and a whiskey Aperetif.
For the quality of the food and portion size we were pleasantly surprised with our bill. Paying 120.00 for two larger mains, drinks and dessert.
Will definitely be returning soon!
Approximate cost: $120
