So ever since the first time i’ve been here, i’ve always wanted to go back…FINALLY an opportunity and enough light to take decent pictures…still with cell phone

woot, time to try some new things!!!!

French Onion Soup: $6.75

ctriskelr1

This is a must get everytime you’re here. MUST GET IN MOUF! (careful though, really hot.)

Foie Gras: $14.95

ctriskelr4

Was really good last time, was really good this time. Definitely recommend if foie gras is your cup of tea!

Escargot: $8.95

ctriskelr2

(Snails, prosciutto, herb butter) served with Toasted bread. Sorry no pics of the bread, but this is soooooo goood… the snails are soooooo succulent. best part is taking the toasted bread and dipping into the herb butter concoction…GENIUS!

Mussels a la Nage: $18.95

ctriskelr5

I admit, i’m a mussel fiend, and this place makes them really good. This is the dinner portion.

and the french fries are to die for, you can ask them for ketchup or better yet…dip them in the mussel broth…*drooling on keyboard nao….

Dessert Crepes!

ctriskelr7

Yesh, we were uber full…but there’s always room for dessert!!! lol.

Poached Pear: $7.50

ctriskelr8

This was really good, too much for me, but i think anyone that likes poached pear will love this crepe rendition.

Lemon & Sugar: $4.75

ctriskelr9

This is by far my favorite crepe here…no matter how full i am, i can definitely dog this…sooo goood…sooo lemony….sooo good…*tear.

Le Bill:

Summary: hahaha admittedly i think the only new items i tried was the escargot and the poached pear…both were a great addition to the items i love getting at this place.

Though what i really want to try is their steak, crab cakes, duck….oh wait…i should just say the rest of the menu

I highly recommend this joint…it’s really great for dates and small groups of maybe 6 at most? Great environment, lovely neighborhood (on that street…don’t stray! )

CHEERS!!!!
