Review content:
Based on mixed reviews, this was a pleasant surprise. On a recent mid-week visit my wife and I were promptly seated, immediately provided with the generic lunch menu and fresh home-baked bread. The first surprise was to find a perfectly acceptable Muscadet available as both a good aperitif that would also blend well with most of the menu items. It should be noted that a few were unavailable - but not to worry: we chose the omelet-of-the-day and the moules frites. I am happy to report that both were excellent - the frites were even ""real"" frites, not pretentious too-thin or too-big versions of ""French fries"" as are so often found! The mussels were fresh and deliciously steamed in a white wine-garlic-scallion sauce; the omelet was light and served piping hot with a perfectly sauteed filling of fresh vegetables. The desserts were standard fare. The expresso coffee was superb. In the spirit of full disclosure, I was a restaurant owner for 20 years and continue peripherally by reviewing eateries for a major city publication. Now the bad news. Designers of ?modern? restaurants, including Rue Cler, must be in need of brain transplants: for the life of me I cannot fathom why such spartan designs abound. The ?unfinished? look is just that, and its not appealing. Neither are the uncomfortable seats; one ?banquette? was no more than a stained plank of wood. The floor is unfinished concrete! And a little more imagination in the choice of lighting and artwork would not go amiss. There is not a trace of sound-proofing, so chattering noise is amplified by a single air-conditioning duct that emits a loud whooshing sound every time the wretched unit clicks on. Lets say such ?ambiance? does not exactly stimulate one?s appetite. I have always considered this utilitarian approach both false economy and unnecessary reverse-ostentation. At least put a carpet down! Despite this I would recommend Rue Cler for a quick lunch. I look forward to trying it for an evening repast soon.
