Tried the chilled sweet corn & chili soup, the mussels with sausage and the pork chop. All three dishes were very tasty and reasonably priced. The restaurant is small but comfortable and nicely decorated. The servers were friendly and knowledgable although they made a couple minor mistakes with our order that were easily fixed. They also have a good selection of wine on-tap which was nice. I think I still prefer Cafe Claude but they're both good choices.
Some people from the East Bay might find their fried chicken sandwich kind of familiar. It reminds me so much of the infamous bakesale Betty chicken sandwich. Right down to the jalapeño slaw. It's soo good. About the same price as bettys too. Just weird that it comes from a classy french restaurant like this. Claudine, Betty, same thing, maybe they are sisters. Varlhona chocolate chip cookie was really really good too. Smores were kinda amazing too. Must try the famed soup next time.
The slice of Paris has arrived, and in good time. The woman to men ratio is high, so mates head here for that and more! Great Small Plates and Wine, I'll have to try the beer next time. Good for a first date, I recommend NOT a table, but the bar, if you are going for just drinks. The staff has a charlies angels appeal to them, but in Paris. Oui Oui, Merci Cest' J'Tame! :)
Pros:
- Meyer lemon parfait was tart, flavorful, and delicious
- $1 per ounce of wine on tap during happy hour (4-6p)
- swanky vibe
- pretty good food and fair portion sizes
Cons:
- slightly slow food service
Bottom line: I will definitely take my girls here for happy hour and dessert, but probably not a full sit-down meal
