Chez Catherine
“Didier, the owner did the table side preparation and I have not seen this done since being in France.”
“I love this place, I have only been here on very special occasions, if I could eat here on a regular basis I would.”
“The Dover Sole in brown butter sauce with lemon was one of the best entrees I've eaten anywhere and the Grouper was superb.”

Although no expert in authentic French dining, I still felt my family and I walked into a classic and amazing experience from the first step into the intimate dining room. On a Thursday, only several tables were occupied.
Stephane is extremely attentive and accomodating His buoyant service is complemented by Didier's serious demeanor, but delightfully dry humor. Whatever questions we had, they answered with enthusiastic detail that could lead to its own conversation.
The dining goes beyond the menu. There was an muse-bouche of deviled eggs and petit four of madeleines. We had the vegetable tart, escargot, and mussels, which we all individually raved about and felt were substantial hor d'oeuvres in their own right. The beurre blanc in my tart was exceptionally rich and filling.
The dover sole was a beautiful fish (25 supplement), and Didier's well known tableside prep an ongoing testament of his serious work. The monkfish, certainly firmer and thicker than the sole, but wonderfully tender. With the quality of fish and dish design, I found myself more appreciating the fish flakes–not losing it in a drenching marinade that might be done elsewhere. The classic duck breast didn't disappoint.
Chef's surprises were a mousse and lemon tart. The Souffle comes with a generous amount of sabayon. Will have to find another special reason for coming.
