L'ancestral is an old school super French restaurant. All the classics are here - soupe a l'oignon, steak tartare, leeks in vinaigrette ect. The food here is consistently good, although I wish they would change the preparation of their side vegetables (usually overcooked and mushy). I eat here a lot and usually order the steak tartare with a side of their perfect crispy frites, soupe a l'oignon, or the lamb chops. The house-made pate is very good too. Save room for the chocolate tarte which is wonderfully rich and smooth.
