I'm just going to respectfully reserve my right to disagree. I didn't enjoy my meal as a whole…read more There were some redeeming elements, but not enough to persuade me to recommend La Table de Jeanne. As you can see in my photograph, everything looks beautifully appetizing, so don't necessarily let my review dissuade you. Today, I ordered the Colombo du cochon and the Dôme au chocolat (au lait?). For the Colombo du cochon, first let me say that the pork was perfectly cooked (they gave me a steak knife, but there was absolutely no need; so tender!). The sauce (although lacking salt) was also very good. However, the rice was undercooked, the dried fruits had absolutely no flavor, and the julienned vegetable medley just couldn't decide if it wanted to be under or over-cooked. For the Dôme au chocolat, I was really disappointed. The plate was so uncoordinated, with far too many flavors presented. There was a mini scoop of berry ice cream with cookie crumbles underneath, a dome of dark chocolate filled with berry mousse again with cookie crumbles underneath, patches of fresh strawberry, peach, kiwi, and pineapple, swaths of salted butter caramel sauce, and a powdering of chocolate powder. Too much! There was something off about the mousse. I kept tasting it to double and then triple check, but there was definitely a chemical note. I know those cans for aerating mousse batter probably don't have aerosol in them, but that was the "kind" of bitter aftertaste I was getting. One last remark about the dessert and then I'll shut up: it was definitely marked on the menu that the dome was made of "chocolate au lait" (milk chocolate). And while there's nothing wrong with switching it up from milk to dark, if the dome isn't milk chocolate (it wasn't), don't write milk on the menu.

My wife started with the langoustine carpaccio and I had the sardines(photo). Both were exquisite. Next was the hommard bleu (blue lobster), amazing and cooked to absolute perfection.

Dish. was exquisitely flavorful, fresh, and not to mention downright beautiful. The balance of savors was truly delightful in comparison with some of the other Michelin/ Michelin-aspiring restaurants that I have tried. When dining here, I honestly felt the presence of the chef's philosophy behind and commitment to every element of each plate. From the apéritif to the dessert, I could not contain myself from smiling after each first bite. Two dishes that were particularly memorable were the dish with scallops and beets as well as the dish with a braised medallion of venison. To give you an idea of the caliber of la gourmandière, my boyfriend typically does not eat shellfish under any circumstances. But on this night, he not only ate shellfish, but enjoyed said dishes immensely. Additionally, the kouign amann that accompanied our after-dinner coffee was The Best that I have ever tasted. My only reproach is that the physical temperature of the restaurant made it a little difficult to truly appreciate the two dishes with frozen elements. However, this one detail will certainly not prevent me from returning, with pleasure, to la gourmandière. In fact, I cannot wait to bring my parents here the next time that they visit France. Thank you, to the chef, the waitstaff, the sommelier, and all involved, for an unforgettable night.
