Description:
DOWNTOWN. In a vague nod to its name, this contemporary French restaurant features a circular shape. Its air of sophistication is gracious rather than intimidating, thanks to a warm, welcoming staff. Main courses include well conceived numbers like pepper-crusted New Zealand venison chop, seared Chatham cod, and Scottish salmon with Yukon gold potatoes. A favorite dessert is tapioca parfait, but "hot apple soup" shouldn't be overlooked either. |
