In Short
This breezy cozy lair decked in knotty pine with clustered tables is no secret to fans of European-born Chef Mannke (Rotisserie for Beef and Bird). The duck pate hors d'oeuvre is rustic and savory, as is the garlicky, tender escargot. Try the strikingly fresh redfish napped in butter-caper sauce or the gently sauteed shrimp with fragrant roasted garlic and grilled beefsteak tomato.

This place is different from the normal hustle and bustle of Houstons eateries. Slightly Mountian sophiticated decor, wonderfull menu, reasonable wine prices, excellent service and the Chef walks around talking to guests. If you have a up comming family event, and your children have good table manners, I recommend this place for a new adventure in culinary delights. Just a wonderfull experience and unique for Houston.

I took my boyfriend here a few weeks back. He heard me raving about this place for years but we never got the opporunity to go, so I was very excited to take him here. We got there pretty early, in hopes to forgo the wait. The hostest infromed us that all the tables had reservations but we can eat at the bar. I really didn't want o eat at the bar, so dissappointed we both headed out the door. They called us back in and said they will set a table for us, it turned out they took away their dessert and cheese table to make room for us, which was very nice! The boyfriend had the onion soup, it was on the sour side and we both agreed the that the one we had in Paris was a lot better. I enjoyed my snails very much. I had the wild boar and he had the rabbit. My boar was very delishious but his rabbit was to die for. Everytime i took a bit of his rabbit, mmmmmmmmmmmm couldn't stop coming out of my mouth. It was just so good. We ended the night was the fresh strawberry tart! Just coming back from France, I was afraid this would tarnish my memory of the great pasteries in France, but it didn't. It was soooooooo delishious! I really do love this gem! And now so does my boyfriend!

This restaurant has it all. The service was prompt, friendly, and helpful. The ambience was quaint and intimate. The food was unique, well-presented, and tasty, with a variety of choices for nearly every dining palate. Best of all, the price was reasonable. I strongly recommend it, especially on Sunday evening when a three course meal is a good bargain.

Look Good:
End with the rarefied European cheese course, tarte Tatin or chilled bittersweet-chocolate mousse.
