Pooh, Marie (Pooh's sister), Pooh's father and I came here for supper, last night.
The ambiance was busy and noisy. Maybe it was just that night but I wouldn't go back for a romantic dinner.
We started with drinks. Pooh's dad (Andre) and I had Bloody Caesars, Pooh had a beer and Marie a house cocktail. The cocktail was too floral. Our Caesars were great.
For appetizers Marie and Pooh had mussels, Andre, a Caesar salad and I had the French Onion soup. Andre's salad was a good size; Pooh and Marie enjoyed their mussels and my soup was very tasty
Before the appetizers arrived a panier of warm bread and buns with a delicious olive oil and parmesan cheese sauce was brought to the table
We ordered the Table D'hôte. Marie, Pooh and Andre had the fillet mignon and I had the bavette (flank steak). The cook on the steaks varied. Pooh and I ordered medium-rare; Marie ordered medium and Andre ordered medium-well. Pooh's steak was medium and my steak was medium-rare at the thinner end and very rare (almost blue) at the thicker end.
Pooh, Marie and Andre had a baked potato without any butter and I had french fries.
We shared two bottles of Italian red wine which was an excellent choice for the steaks.
For dessert we had the brownie with ice cream. The brownie was dry - we needed the ice cream to help get it down.
Pooh, Andre and I had a Brazilian coffee to wash everything down. Marie was driving.
The service was excellent. Our server Édouard was very attentive; always checking on us. He was pleasant and had a friendly smile.
Our glasses of water were always filled without us asking.
The bathroom was unisex. read more
