The best is the complete uniqueness of the property and the hosts. It's almost like staying at a friends house. But your most interesting friends! The restaurant is quintessentially French, in the best way. My gosh- there's never been a prettier salad. Hubby had steak son had the fish and ALL had the foie gras. Wine/champagne list is extensive and incredibly diverse, and reasonably priced. And the most adorable dogs live there- but they go to sleep early. AND everywhere there are unique and inspiring details. This place is a dream. Incredibly unique in a world where everything is increasingly homogeneous.

I chose this restaurant because it had veal stew on the menu. Blanquette de veau is an old…read morefashioned veal dish that is in a white sauce. I asked for home fried potatoes and a green salad as a side. The veal was very disappointing. Tough and fatty. The sauce lacked any taste. The home fried potatoes were really French fries in cubes, not pan fried potatoes. The green salad was the best part of the meal. Maybe I chose the wrong item, my neighbors had lamb and a steak and they said it was delicious.

After attempting to ask what the staff would recommend for a local wine, a best guess was made with the waiter's minimal English. I think I selected a regional wine, "Saint Jean". It was a nice wine. Using the English version of the food menu, Leg of Lamb was selected. It was a great choice! The portions were good and the flavor was great! Didn't care for the fries (didn't know they came with the meal), but they were crispy and fresh. The lamb was wonderful! I would have it again. I was very satisfied with the evening. If I can return, I'll have to visit Le St Jean Restaurant for another great meal.
