We just came back from two weeks in Provence and wanted to relive a culinary experience. And we did. Food was delicious and quite authentic. Our server Tammy was lovely. I enjoyed the salmon whilst my wife had the short ribs. Both were tasty and much satisfying. Of course one must start with a French 75 cocktail. Truly an exquisite evening.
