AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
The buttery, golden sole meunière earns rapturous praise, a dish executed with pristine simplicity. Overall, the vibe is one of understated French elegance, delivering quiet, masterful comfort.
“The sole meunière is one of their famous dishes. It comes whole and they fillet it tableside — boneless, glistening, with the fattiness and oiliness sautéed in butter. It's so delicate, oily, moist, with a texture like eel — buttery, fatty, rich. Cooked down to perfection. Really, really good.”

Dishes mentioned
Salmon with Cream Cheese and Endive
The starter salmon with creamy cheese — you take it with the endive. The dill hits you immediately, and it's not too salty. With the bread, which is crusty and fluffy inside, it's delicious.
Soupe de Poisson
The rockfish soup is phenomenal — a balance, a flavor harmony that keeps on giving, coating your taste buds. You can also eat it with crispy bread and a slightly spicy sauce; the bread stays crispy but absorbs the broth. It's a soup of wonders.
Plateau de Fruits de Mer
This has to be the most beautiful cold seafood tray I've ever seen — 18 oysters, bright orange prawns like a bouquet, crab with roe, welks, clams, mini shrimp. The oysters are huge, like an entire ocean of flavor. The shrimp are icy cold, crisp, sweet, muscular. The clams are sweet with a crispness, almost a crunch. The welks are tender like squid, not rubbery. The crab is like pure butter — icy cold, sweet, like seafood butter. Absolutely phenomenal.
Sole Meunière
The sole meunière is one of their famous dishes. It comes whole and they fillet it tableside — boneless, glistening, with the fattiness and oiliness sautéed in butter. It's so delicate, oily, moist, with a texture like eel — buttery, fatty, rich. Cooked down to perfection. Really, really good.
Gâteau Napoléon
The Napoleon cake is huge — layers of cream and rum, vanilla from Madagascar. It's light and airy, flaky, just dissolves in your mouth. It has a flavor of rum. Really good.
