Get the escargots- they do it very well. You'll close your eyes during the first bite, it's that good. \r

The service (both times I've been there) has been inconsistent. For the first half of the meal they're all over you (but in a good way) and for the second half, you would have to light yourself on fire to get noticed by your waiter. Neither time were they exceptionally busy as I went on week nights. \r

My main comment is about the Rabbit special. It was basically inedible. At first I thought there had been a mistake and they had given me some dried out old piece of chicken breast. Nope, it was rabbit. It was tough and so dry and the sauce was nothing special at all. The noodles were soooo oversalted (and my friends make fun of me for loving salt so much) and there was some kind of root vegetable lurking underneath it all that tasted vaguely of mildew. Honestly, it had no flavor until the aftertaste which was basically essence of an old person's closet. After three bites of this thing I was done so I signaled with my knife and fork placement that I was finished. After 10 minutes of waiting for someone -anyone?- to come take this thing away from me, I decided to go to the restroom, hoping they would clear while I was gone. Nope, upon my arrival I discovered that someone had been to the table but they had only refolded my napkin and placed it on the table. I pity that person since the napkin was half full of their geriatric rabbit. Maybe it was Jack Rabbit? Either way it was shockingly bad and I am not a food snob. \r
Pros: Escargots, Minervois, the bread basket
Cons: The Rabbit, it's noisy
