In Short
Tiny details create a distinct European aura. Delicate flowers are painted on a glass-enclosed wine rack. An indoor ''awning'' covers a row of cozy booths, and antique wall sconces emit a warm glow. Imaginative presentation and fresh ingredients define the French fare here. Starters include puff pastry stuffed with asparagus, shrimp and lobster. The duck and beef entrees are typical of France and spiced with peppercorn. Ultrarich-but-worth-it desserts include chocolate souffle.
