<p>Foie Gras has a great taste but I could never get over the texture. Unless it's really really crisped up.</p><p>I'm not a huge of French food fan. Creams get old after a while. </p>

It's not bad, but certainly a little rich to be eating every day. It's like a REALLY refined chopped liver that you had at your great aunt's mothers day brunch when you were 12.

Give it a try!

Some French cuisine is very high brow, but usually there are there are also the customary nods to the French farmhouse on the menu, too. Look for the classy version of beef burgundy (beef bourguignon), Chicken in wine (Coq-au-vin), etc.

Try something new for sure, and PLEASE have some good cheese!

Everything was great. She was happy that it was new. We got really lucky with parking. I brought a bottle of white bordeaux that she loved and we finished. The Groupon allowed free corkage FTW and it was only $13 at the market. The service was super friendly. Only problem was that they were out of a lot of food. No Foie Gras The menu is a little different than online. We got Truffle Brie to start which was delish. She got the salmon with this amazing creamy sauce and I got the tuna steak. Both came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Dessert was crepe suzette with ice cream. All came out to $35 plus tip, plus the bottle.
