The point is to enjoy the food. Without sacrificing the elegance that makes fine dining so enjoyable, La Petite Folie offers it sans pretension and many are beginning to take note. The restaurant projects a bonhomie nature that invites gourmands into its creamy, warmly lit dining rooms. The service is effortless, as the friendly, knowledgeable wait staff guides you through the process of assembling the perfect meal. When you're done ordering, just sit back and allow the magic to happen.
Dinner occurs at a leisurely pace, allowing ample time for conversation.
Served in courses, the meal builds toward a rewarding crescendo, as the subtly crafted flavors mingle and transit the palate from one item to the next. Most items can be paired with wines chosen specifically to compliment the flavors of each dish. The restaurant's menu offers an exciting choice of options, from wild game to more expected meats and seafood. Of particular note is the magret de canard with braised cabbages, baby carrots and fondant potatoes. For my meal, I chose the broccoli soup, grilled flank steak in a green peppercorn sauce with broccoli and roasted potatoes, and the apple tart tatin with creme anglaise.
