2 visits. 2 very good experiences. More visits to come, for sure. I had been warned off by some people, but then my brother was in town from NYC and raved about it. He is spoiled for food and is not easily impressed. Maybe things were bumpy when they opened? But from our experiences so far, they've got it worked out. It's a pretty interesting Bistro-style menu, with the expected Steak Frites and Mussels and the like. But they've also got stuff like Chicken-fried Sweetbreads and Escargot Cassoulet. Pretty adventurous for the middle of Old Dooshtown Snottsdale. THINGS WE'VE TRIED Fried Green Tomatoes Green tomatoes, almost too perfectly battered in a grainy breading. Too perfect, like they look like they came out of a bag of frozen fried green tomatoes. Like fried zucchini at a sports bar. BUT, they are topped with a generous helping of lump crab meat in a spicy light cream sauce. I prefer my fried green tomatoes kinda messy and pan sauteed, but with all the bitching, I've ordered them twice and love them. Brasserie Burger Perfectly medium-rare coarse ground juicy beef, on a brioche bun. Excellent. Pork Cheeks Rich and creamy pork cheeks with grits and greens, and pork rinds as an interesting added texture. Frisee Salad Lardons (basically, bacon) and a delicious cream sauce over frisee with a poached egg on top. Rich, but great. Not overly salty. Steak Frites A really nice, perfectly chewy perfectly cooked medium rare steak. Every bite edible. No gristle or inedible fat. A little thicker than a real French bistro steak. Accompanied by yummy frites - I assume double-fried with some duck fat involved. French Onion Soup My buddy Dave got this on our man-date. Looked great. He said it was. Shrimp with Grits See above. SERVICE Whatever. Took our orders, served our food well. No hiccups. Really looking forward to trying the Vietnamese sammich - bahn mi, among other things. All in all, I think they're on the right track. Hopefully they can survive the Southbridge curse. Nice that it's within bike riding distance for us too. Added to the wonderful Cafe Monarch, Old Town is gettin good :-) w00t!
