Oiseau, that's what I call a birthday treat! The food sounds great! Karen and I always different dishes too.

Grand dining experiences in France are usually so much better than here. There, it is (rightly or wrongly) assumed that diners know their stuff and more emphasis is placed on the food and drink.It also goes without saying that the staff are PROFESSIONALS. Here, on the whole, there is more emphasis on the peripherals.

A birthday celebration well worth the exhorbitant Offre Speciale!
Cheers!

This sounds so unbelievably fantastic that posting about it probably qualifies as mental torture. I'm calling Amnesty Int'l.

Sedulia - if you do make to this corner of France let me know and I'd be happy to share a coupe with you in town.
