 Pamplemousse Restaurant Review: This cozy 85-seat converted home features the charm of a French countryside inn, an impressive wine cellar just inside the entrance, small private dining nooks, subdued lighting and soft hues. Tables are set with pink cloths, burgundy napkins, flowers in burgundy glass vases and elegant white-on-white service plates. Waiters describe the preparation of the evening's fare. Hot crusty bread, hard-boiled eggs and individual crocks of the house vinaigrette accompany a handsome basket of lettuce and crudités. Try the jumbo shrimp appetizer with sauce diablo, or the escargot with Burgundy wine sauce, mushrooms and garlic. Specialties are rack of lamb with pistachios, grain-fed roast duckling and New York prime filet. Luscious desserts such as profiteroles, soufflés and coupe maison with fresh berries complete the romantic French dinner.
