Real for real French cuisine on the peninsula, still goin strong after 30 years. Two Lyonaise natives immigrate to Cali, playing violin for movie soundtracks, come to Sequim and open a restaurant as a second career. A real American story. With the Madame in the kitchen, and Norbert in the dining room, these two bring verve and joi de vie to a tough business.
The menu is not strict Lyonaise- BTDT, and the clientele didn't take to frog legs and rabbit, so it is a more mundane set of center plate proteins they serve. With a delicious classic French salad tweaked for our pan-ethnic tastes with soy sauce, with perfect roasted vegetables, with classic sauces accompanying the fish and meat, they serve traditional French food, if not French dishes.
The service is a bit slow, with this being a couple of people running a big restaurant with quality food, so be sure you are prepared to converse with those with whom you are dining.
The restaurant is just what you would encounter in a small town in France. Proprietors who live the vocation, who make the restaurant their home. Good food prepared intelligently, a fun atmosphere appropriate to the locale.
