    We decided to have a late dinner here on a Saturday night. We chose to sit at the chef’s counter. It is warm by this area, but fun and bustling to see them working on all the delicious food. We started with escargot and the scallop appetizers. Both were delicious, and left us wanting more. We shared a lyonnaise salad, the combination of ingredients was flavorful and light, and the dressing was a perfect balance with enough acid. We had the steak frites and the monkfish, both were outstanding. We finished with the new apple tart with crème fraise ice cream. it was a great combination- the tart was buttery, caramelized, cinnamon forward and the ice cream was not too sweet. We had manhattans (well made, but fairly standard), the framboise cocktail (berry flavor, smooth, and light) and the signature petite vie 75 cocktail (citrus forward, sweet, and fresh). Definitely will be back!
