Ate here on a Friday night recently; party of 3. We showed up 30 minutes early for our reservation, so they made us sit at the bar (although there were empty tables). \n\nBesides this minor service issue, the rest of the meal was amazing.\n\nHalf-dozen oysters: Clean, fresh, tasty.\n\nWatercress and endive salad: Apples and walnut really add to the flavor.\n\nSteak Frite: One of the best steaks I've had at a restaurant. I've had sous-vide filet at home that may have been on-par, but this was excellent. Oh, and the fries are perfect.\n\nMagret de Canard (the duck): HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT. Perfect crispy skin with a nice layer of fat underneath. Flavor of the meat came through and was not drowned by the sauce or accompanying veggies.\n\nGnocchi a la Parisienne: Nice buttery flavor and chewiness.\n\nWine: Qupe Syrah, Bien Nacido Vineyard. One of my favorite vineyards. Very reasonably priced.\n\nAnd, all of this for reasonable prices. I was actually surprised that the meal only came to $230 (w/o tip). (We also had drinks at the bar). Great experience. Now, I have to go try the Bouchon Bistro in Napa!
