The Scene
Candlelit tables, orange-tinged walls and chandeliers create a cozy, understated elegance. On warm nights, windows open onto a front patio adorned with tiny lights and filled with locals engaged in lively conversation. Friendly servers--some with French accents--in black T-shirts take orders and make informed wine suggestions.
The Food
The menu changes based on seasonal produce selection, but always boasts authentic Provencal cuisine. To start, baby mesclun salad is a refreshing mix of greens bathed in balsamic vinaigrette. Healthy chunks of avocado and lobster served in half an avocado shell also makes a delicious appetizer. Entrees include well-seasoned, if slightly fatty, rib eye, complemented by aged mustard dipping sauce and perfectly crisp fries. Bouillabaisse is a mixture of clams, mussels, shrimp and sea bass soaked in saffron broth, and goat cheese gnocchi are deeply flavorful. For dessert, bite-sized profiteroles explode with rich, dark chocolate, while fruity sorbet offers a lighter finish.
