SO GOOD. They have smaller and larger plates, we were told to order ~2-3 small plates and 2 large plates for two people. We ended up having 4 smaller plates and a large one, plus dessert, which was a great amount of food. We liked everything we ate. Would recommend the honeynut squash, and the wild boar pate. The roasted pear Napoleon was also so good!! The service was also great, and the vibe is really nice for a date. We'll be back.

OVERALL: 5/5 Food: 5/5 Drinks: 5/5 Service: 5/5 - Excellent Ambiance: 5/5 - Like a cozy French bistro. Only thing missing was a roadside table looking out. Have been meaning to try this place since it opened during Covid years, but somehow never made it there. Finally was able to make it for a birthday celebration of a very special friend. Everything was perfection. B Pattisserie is my favorite pastry shop so of course this had to be good. We had.. - Dungeness crab pavé, - Crisp cubes of fried potatoes with a crab mix on top. Heavenly bites - Eggplant with fresh ricotta - - California halibut sashimi - So light and fresh with fresh yellow tomatoes - Hen of the woods mushrooms "au poivre", egg yolk, crushed potato - Delish! - Melon Salad - Yummy! - Corn risotto - Creamy goodness - Seared scallops - Seabass Special - Softshell crabs with Padron peppers - Strawberry "Napoleon" with almond cream, apricots and blackberries - This was my favorite - Another dessert with a scrumptious pistachio cream and strawberries - The pistachio cream was to die for.. - Peach Crumble - Dark chocolate mousse, coffee crumble and chantilly 8-20-2023 - Dinner - Table for 6

Good, not great. The menu is exciting but the execution falls flat. A lot of the dishes were boring (e.g. almost tasteless California halibut sashimi and cold pork and duck terrine.) The stands outs we had were the short rib confit (delicious!) and Dungeness crab pavé (tasty, but wish there was more crab on it.) Desserts were the best part of the meal and we loved the chocolate mousse and Napoleon we split. The drinks were okay, although my dining partner wished his was stronger and my mocktail was largely flavorless and only about five sips worth. Our waitress was dour, never smiled once, never offered to get us more drinks when we were out and just generally seemed unenthused to be there. The ambiance was cute, but we were sat in the upstairs portion of the restaurant and found it so loud we had to yell throughout most of the meal. Overall, I would go back if someone asked me to but I wouldn’t go out of my way to do so, especially at the high price point.

We routinely pass this restaurant on our way to b.Patisserie and was intrigue with the Brasserie style curtains. Our server was Rick (German heritage, not French 🇩🇪) and was excellent in recommendations and service! We started with the Chicken Liver Mouse served with onions, Red Currant Compote and some Crisps. Phenomenal! A must order! The Mouse went well with the Red Currant and the Crisp which was brushed with a sweet butter. Then Hen of the Woods “Au Poivre”…another winner deserving of a Michelin star on its own. For main entrées we had the Shortrib confit (of so tender) with a Celery- Chestnut purée and young cabbage and mustard au jus. Delicious and extremely satisfying. I had The Dungeness Crab Pavé with a spicy mayo and Tempura Asparagus (in Season). Delectable and Delightful. The ambiance was warm and welcoming with a touch of elegance! We will definitely be back as it is walking distance away. But we would drive over for the experience. Kudos Belinda!
