Saw a dinner event for this new restaurant on Facebook, and decided to eat here for my birthday dinner with the girls while visiting the Atlanta area. It's located in Dacula, which is over 30 miles NE of ATL. Well worth the drive...
Upon entering, Viviane (one of the owners) greeted us with her sweet French accent behind the hostess stand. She promptly seated us and handed us the menus. I was grateful the menus were simple and not overwhelming. The ambiance and comfortability of the restaurant was romantic and tastefully decorated. All the wait staff were very attentive and polite.
All items came out quickly, nicely presented, and perfectly prepared. I started with a Honey Lavender Latte. Literally perfect. Of course I tried the French Onion Soup in a French restaurant! Very nice, although I usually prefer a little more bread & cheese and a bit less pepper. I tried a bite of the Salmon Pinwheels and they were light and flavorful. For my entree, I chose the Beef Bourguignon. It was like a beef stew with veggies on a bed of mashed potatoes. Very good! It is red wine heavy, but was just the perfect type of comfort food I wanted. The others wanted to try the galette entrees (one Bolognese and one Dolmen beef) and they were divine. Perfectly prepared and tender meat. Very tasty and interesting since it was my first time trying galettes. We all ended up saving half of our entrees so we could try out their dessert crepes. Chef's kiss!
Viviane even serenaded me with a soft birthday song she sang in French. I highly recommend trying this unique place out if ever in the area. It is truly a noteworthy dining experience that I would love to have again. read more
