My wife and I don't speak French but LOVE French cuisine. We arrived with no reservation and decided to do the 7-course tasting menu because we couldn't read the menu. We are so glad we did! Every course was an exquisite example of a chef that respects his ingredients and takes full advantage of the region. I would love nothing more than to give you a play by play dissertation of each course, but in most instances we had no idea. What we did know is that we loved each and every course. Simply fantastic! Great wine list and great service, not to mention the chef personally delivered half of the courses!

We opened with a stacked version of a caprase salad but a hundred times more splendid. A tomato compote/remoulade with a rich cow's milk cheese and a side of sorbet to cleanse the palate. Beef with fois gras was succulent. I had an amazing smoked burger that arrived in a bell jar....smoke included. Strong tasting but delicious. Burger was chopped meat grilled to perfection.

The staff is very friendly, and seemed to enjoy speaking a little English with us. I started with a goat cheese tarte, and had the pork as the main dish. My hubby had foie gras and the vegetable plate. For dessert, I ordered the baba au rhum and that's where it went a bit wrong. The server put the plate with the cake down and proceeded to pour bottled rum over it, telling me to tell him when to stop. Eeek. How do I know how much rum to soak into a cake like that? Well, it turned out to be way too much, the rum was so strong that I couldn't eat it. All in all, we enjoyed our meal, but it would have been better without the ruined rum cake.

We skipped the entree and went right for a bottle of red wine (so good I think it drank itself), steak and potatoes (perfectly prepared to order) and the slow roasted pork tenderloin with a delicious sauce containing paprika to give it a slight heat. We shared two desserts of assorted cheeses and a cookie topped with custard and fruit. You can make a reservation online and since the place is small, it would be a good idea to reserve your table.
