 In this charming French bistro one can truly relax, have a romantic evening, bring a group of friends to enjoy the garden patio or just hang out at the wine bar. The lunch menu is small, but has some good choices, from freshly-made salads to soups to panini to pastas. At dinner, let owners chef Chantal Berton de Crillon (her village of birth) and her sommelier-maître d’ husband Diego Ostroski put together a French-style meal for you. Italy-born Ostroski recommends wines from his 40,000-bottle cellar as the smiling Chantal deftly elevates brasserie food. The place is known for its finger-food appetizers, so order a red vin de table while noshing on sweet baked Turkish dates wrapped in salty apple wood-smoked bacon, classic buttery escargots Bourgogne or flavorful asparagus soup. The place is also known for its French onion soup and cassoulets such as a hearty wild boar tenderloin, robust beef Bourgignon or delectable rabbit stew with wild mushrooms. There are also lots of French bistro classics like coq au vin and lighter California fare such as a Chilean sea bass. Desserts are impressive, such as the homemade ice creams and sorbets, and the profiteroles that come dripping in a Valrhona chocolate sauce.
