| Ste. Marie’s mile high ceilings, minimalist design and just-so lighting combine nicely with a rather limited, yet satisfying menu of mostly French cuisine. French onion soup with Gruyère is a nice lead-in for an appetizer of steak or tuna tartare for the table, or a subtle cheese fondue. Entrées are straightforward and well-executed, including rabbit ragoût, seared sea scallops or braised pork belly, among others. We also recommend the crab cannelloni with Brie and tomatoes. The wine list is lengthier than one might expect given the concise menu, and covers a number of welcome bases. Carefully selected western European labels are nestled among domestic offerings. The occasional crisp German white or hearty Australian red also makes its way onto the list, and the dozen sparkling wines by the glass and several “demi” bottles are appreciated. For dessert, the warm chocolate cake is delightful, but others fall short. Service is attentive but doesn’t overwhelm. |
