. Very rich citrus and long, smooth spice, redolent of mushroom. Really delicious. Then we had the laap pet — juicy, grilled duck and red onions in a rich mint broth. Wow. The duck was as good as any of the half dozen duck...

& roasted onion: fabulous balance of flavors & textures; and - chicken hash with eggs & toast: at first glance, the hash looked deceptively dry & hard, but the thin crisp crust encased a moist, creamy & absolutely delicious...

sardine in the egg. It was deceptively simple and perfect. They are making a lovely foccacia for the bread with the meal. You have some olive oil to dip it in. For dessert, go with the valcheron if you have never had it. They had...

but not hot, with all the ingrediants' flavors distinct and delicious. second to arrive, chicken with ginger, scallion, and onion. a generous amount of ginger permeating each delectible, deftly cooked bite. last to arrive, curry...

stuffy. Not bistro fare, but typical French cooking you’d find in France. I had carrot and ginger soup to start (in a cute cup and saucer) and the quail for my entree, which was stuffed with cranberries. It was small but...
