Wonderful lunch this week that feels like a small place in France. Very charming atmosphere and great service. Warm baguette slides with butter arrives before our first course of sharing a goat cheese salad with butter lettuce and a cheese plate. Escargot and French onion soup for our main courses were terrific and rich. This will become one of our regular spots going forward. Great choice by Karla.

We each had the ribeye. One of the worse steaks we’ve ever had in a restaurant. Low grade cut of steak- maybe Choice at the best. At least 60% fat, tough and chewy. Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Price per person: $60–70
