Le Gratin

Ate at this restaurant from a recommendation from a friend. Really great.

Menu is mainly in French, so took a while to decide what to get. Aside from the beat salad everything was awesome (mainly since I don’t like beats).

For drinks, we got a bottle of red wine to share (Chateau Pegau). Great for pairing with the rest of the food.

For food, we did family style. Got the steak tartare (with sour dough bread), the Pate (with chicken liver), brats salad, the gratin, and medium-rare duck. Best duck I’ve ever had (the duck itself and the sauce).

For desert got the PROFITEROLE CHOCOLAT-NOISETTE. Great choice.

Bouchon

We tried this restaurant after visiting Artesa winery in Napa. Note that it took a friend one month to get a reservation! (Also it’s a Michelin star restaurant.

For drinks, got the brut rose and a lemon drop. Both drinks were good (what not amazingly special).

For appetizers, we got the pate, tartare, escargot and deviled eggs. I actually liked all of it.

For the main, got the salmon. Probably shouldn’t have asked for it to be super well done, but still I enjoyed it (also like the cous cous it came with). I did try the steak from someone else. I thought it was too salty.

Bouchon also has a bakery beside it. I got the chocolate macaron, and gotta say, it was the best macaron I’ve ever had! The brownie from there is also good.

In short, I would definitely go back to the bakery. The restaurant I would eat again at, but wouldn’t go out of my way to make a reservation a month in advance.
