My husband is French and I can honestly say that we have eaten at every French restaurant in the city?some more often than others. So, after our friends told us about a new ?authentic? French restaurant that opened up downtown, we were in a hurry to get there. Although we had originally planned to go with another couple, they cancelled at the last minute so we wound up there on Friday night by ourselves...and could not have been happier about it. First, Entre Nous is probably the most romantic place I have ever been to. The walls are a deep wine red, it has black and white checkered floors, there are flowers and candles everywhere and to top it off ? there was an old black and white movie playing on the ceiling. After being offered several varieties of water from an adorable waitress, we got a chance to scour the menu, which was no easy feat considering there were about 30 different things on it. I can sum it up by saying?I wanted everything! After ordering several dishes (duck breast, a lamb loin tower, mussels, a stuffed onion and green beans), we sat sipping our wine and chuckling over the reading material on our table?a guide to understanding French etiquette. Our food came out in no particular order and although some dishes were bigger than others, it all tasted divine. In my husband?s words, ?this is exactly the food that I grew up on.? When we thought the evening could not get any better, the chef came out to greet us. It turns out that he is also the owner and is originally from the South of France, too! All in all, Entre Nous was a fantastic experience. Take it from a French family ? GO THERE!
Pros: Authentically French, Romantic Ambience, Great Service.
Cons: I can't think of any!
