This charming restaurant with butter-yellow walls and low lighting serves contemporary French fare in a casual setting. Owners Vuong and Tricia Loc offer changing entrées that feature seafood, meat and poultry, or are vegetarian. Design a meal from both categories, select only the vegetarian, or choose the four-course tasting menu with either regular or vegetarian dishes. (A select wine pairing may be added to complement either menu.) Flavors are delicate, sauces light, and portions just right. The vegetarian items also make ideal first courses. Our favorite in this category is the ravioli with hazelnut mousse, caramelized delicata squash tossed with frisée, slivered almonds, and crumbled goat cheese. Other entrées may include pan-roasted quail accompanied by a fennel-pear salad drizzled with dried cherry vinaigrette, seared diver scallops with a potato truffle risotto, a hearty côte de boeuf, or braised pork belly with mushroom fricassée. Choose a sweet ending such as the flourless chocolate cake or, when in season, caramelized peach tarte Tatin. The short, somewhat pricey wine list offers mostly French regional selections with a few Northwest options.
