This was my second visit to this gem of a restaurant. On my initial visit my partner and I shared a lovely meal on the terrace and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had read reviews criticizing the waitstaff's service but I liked that they weren't hovering. Maybe this would be a problem if you had a limited time to consume your meal but I found it refreshing to have them step back and allow us to consume our meal in a leisurely fashion.

This was my second visit to this gem of a restaurant. On my initial visit my partner and I shared a lovely meal on the terrace and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had read reviews criticizing the waitstaff's service but I liked that they weren't hovering. Maybe this would be a problem if you had a limited time to consume your meal but I found it refreshing to have them step back and allow us to consume our meal in a leisurely fashion.

On the second visit I had a larger party to celebrate my birthday and one person in my party was displeased that he had to signal the waiter. With a larger group that has more demands, the laid back serving style presented a small problem but overall I still liked the relaxed atmosphere.

Being American, I am no expert of French cuisine but my french friends seemed very pleased. We ordered three appetizers (frog legs, crab salad and cheese with carmelized onion), a seasonal potato dish, a seasonal entree, two fish, one rabbit and one lamb entree, and shared creme brulee and frozen nougat for dessert. Of the whole meal only the crab appetizer was just okay. The cheese on the other hand was one of the favorites. The french guests raved over the seasonal potato dish, which was made with lots of cheese. I decided to try sweetbreads for the first time (it was the seasonal entree) and it was one of the most delicious dishes that I have ever consumed in my life. It also was very filling and I was almost distraught that I couldn't gobble it all up but had to share it. The fish eaters liked the flavor but the cod dish's many bones were difficult to deal with.

I may not recommend Didier for a business lunch but I would suggest it to anyone who wants to have a leisurely dinner.
题外话/补充资料: My spending is on the high end because it was for a celebration and we consumed several bottles of wine along with pre-dinner drinks. The portions of food are good and I would expect that you could eat for half the cost of my dinner if you only had a couple glasses of wine.
