Naturally, I was in the area recently, I couldn't resist a visit and a stop for dinner! Au Cheval Noir is a characteristic "Winstub", or a cozy restaurant serving Alsatian fare. We arrived right at the start of the dining hour and the place quickly filled up! The staff is so warm and welcoming, and after perusing the menu and the daily specials, we had quickly decided in what we wanted. All of us decided on the Prix Fixe menu, which had 3 courses (appetizer, entree, dessert). I started with Escargots, and they were just as delicious as I had expected.
