Decent food u0026 service in a beautiful setting. Some details could use more attention.
The restaurant is in the same building as Sushi Kyo. Was craving steak u0026 frites and came specifically for it.
Started with complimentary baguette and butter. The baguette was extremely tasty, even though it was not warmed up. The butter was good, but erring on the cold side.
The salad was simple and delicious. The Dijon mustard seed vinaigrette has just the right amount of flavors.
Steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. The sauce feels rather “detached” from the meat in my opinion, and unfortunately I was not a fan of how the meat itself tasted. The fries were very thin and crunchy, which is sadly also not my personal preference.
The tarte tartin is pretty good. Not overly sweet, with a soft buttery pastry base. (Think the one from Cafe Milou remains my favorite, because I like the pastry to be a bit caramelized.)
Overall it is a cute venue that would be fun for dates. There seems to be a good selection of wines by the glass as well.
Note: Came on a weekday at 1:15pm, only to find out that the restaurant doesn’t open till 2pm. ????????u200d♀️
