Interesting but not overwrought food. Great service. Nice room and a tasty bottle of Rose. Adds up to a great lunch experience. This was my first visit since the changeover from Bizou, and I will be going back.
Ordered piquillo peppers stuffed with a confit tuna salad. Nice rendition. Shared a squash blossom flatbread with creme fraiche. Finished with a seared tuna salad. On baby spinach (if I recollect) with a bit of aioli across the fish, and a smoky roasted egglant and caper mixture of some sort. Simple. Satisfying. And very tasty. I'd eat it again in a heartbeat.
The place was full. The room is comfortable. The service was friendly. The menu was simple, with interesting twists (like the squash blossom flatbread or a pizza with fig, gorgonzola, rosemary and roasted onions.) All in all the vibe was a nice one. I wish them well.
