Because this restaurant is French and is owned by a real Frenchman (Jean-Luc Labat), there is a parisian aura of pretentiousness and arrogance. Its located where paradise Bakery and Cafe used to be in the Casas Adobe Plaza and why THAT restaurant went out of business i have no idea.The set-up is the same in that you order at a counter and help yourself to water and napkins, sugar for your coffee,etc. and find a seat in or out and they bring your food to you.
The prices were moderately high. The waitresses had a small salt and pepper "do you want any?" ceremony. Jelly for your breakfast bread was an extra dollar. No soft drinks were served because the restaurant is organic and highly healthy. but i enjoyed what i ordered and would probably come back.
I got an open-faced sandwich (only it's called a tartine, excusez-moi!) of shrimp on top of a toasted pc. of bread upon which a thin thin almost translucent layer of guacamole was spread (though i thought it tasted like pesto) and topped with chopped tomatoes. The bread was covered with shrimp from end to end. This was accompanied by a salad (just greens) with delicious thick and creamy ranch dressing and a 1/2 slice of what looked like whole wheat bread.
Kay, my dining friend, didn't get anything as she wanted soup and both offerings were cream-based and she doesn't eat dairy.
Merci for reading my review du jour, s'il vous plait, merde, rsvp, bonjour amigo.
