Ratatouille exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Ratatouille made with real commitment to shallots and technique. The deeply layered result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

the terroir philosophy links food to its region of origin. The a brasserie lunch was exactly right for this kind of eating. Champagne was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
