2 Reader Reviews | This small underground restaurant has a French bistro hole-in-the-wall kind of vibe. Once you go down the stairs, the first part of the restaurant is a bar with stools and high tables...nothing impressive. The dining area is in the back of the restaurant, with about seating for 30 people. Service is top notch, with wine recommendations adapted to your meal and taken from an impressive selection of wines by the glass. Go for the champagne by the glass with your dessert...it's pricey but well worth it. You can also opt for a bottle if you know what you want to drink. But the whole point of this place is its wine selection and variety so that was a big part of what made our night, even though a bottle would have been cheaper overall than separate glasses. The menu is very flexible, you can have meal or tapas portions...you can also opt for the table d'hote if you're just trying the place out for the first time and aren't confortable ordering a bunch of stuff that you don't know if you'll like. That's what we did. It was $35 for an entree, main, dessert. Overall, a nice place to go on a date or with a small group of friends. One tip though, take the regular tap water instead of their bottled water when they ask you...unless you're OK paying $10 for regular water in a fancy bottle. Take that money and order yourself a nice glass of Bordeaux instead.
