I picked Entre Nous to have dinner with a girlfriend before an evening show at the Moore Theater around the corner. This quaint little restaurant is easy to miss - tucked away on Stewart between second and third ave across from the Macy's parking lot. \r
\r
But what a find! Like finding a little diamond when I'd not hoped for more than a nondescript fare that would keep me warm on that chilly Halloween night.\r
\r
Between my friend and I, we had the mussels (the basil butter sauce is delectable - flecked with bits of green peppers and onion), the seared duck that comes with a very flavorful Provencal sauce that just BEGS for baguette), hot off the flames haricot verte with caramelized onions and pine nuts, scallops cooked in a rich, buttery cream sauce with mushrooms, and a wonderful chopped salad with Gouda and apple. We were so stuffed at the end we had to walk a couple of blocks so we wouldn't sleep through our performance. \r
\r
It was an indulgence alright, but worth every morsel.\r
\r
And our waitress was wonderful - she recommended the scallops and also that we order the baguette. So was our chef - really down to earth and friendly! I am sure I'll return with more friends.
