In Short
Snuggled in the Township Square mall, Chef Frédéric Perrier (of Café Perrier reknown) brings New American fare with a dash of his native France to locals looking for a refined dining experience. Simple décor and a smaller space allow the uncluttered menu to shine. Specials change daily, but expect Perrier's signature surf and turf with diver scallops and short ribs, fresh mussels with Spanish chorizo, mini buffalo burgers with foie gras, and butternut squash risotto topped with smoked duck.

My spouse & I eat out often. We look for new venues every Friday. Food here was just okay and a bit overpriced. We were also rushed to turn the table. Needless to say, 1st visit is also our last.

After wandering into this rare gem on a rainy evening, I have been a regular. The food is beautifully cooked and the wine list reasonable and well-selected. Each evening sports specially selected appetizers and entrees in addition to the regular menu. I try something different every time, but, I have to admit, my favorite salad is the Lyonnaise, with that perfect poached egg. The owners are warm and welcoming and the waiters friendly and accomodating. If you're looking for a restaurant that has perfectly cooked French fare and provides an intimate setting for quiet conversation, this little jewel is it.

This restaurant was everything we were told it was. They had a great menu with a number of specials. We had the lobster bisque which was good, but not great (next time we will try the onion soup) The AURA salad we had was fabulous (nuts, cheese, great dressing). We also had a sea bass fish dish and it was FANTASTIC, very flavorful sauce and the staple of Coq Au Vin. The waiter suggested one of the specials in leiu of the CoqAuVin, but we didn't budge. We later wished we did, because as the CoqAuVin was good, it was not as fantastic as the fish. The cappucinno was really THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD. There was so much thick froth that I finished the coffee before the froth disappeared. We shared the chocolate fon dant with pistachio sauce...another excellent menu item! We will definatley go back again!
