I had the lunch spontane menu with the frisee salad, jidori chix paillard, and the honey ginger pound cake. I also ordered the OC Frites a la carte.

Upon arrival, the host gave me a negative impression of the place. Seemed as if me being there was a bother to him. The server on the other hand was excellent though, very professional and always with a smile.

One thing I noticed right away was that their plates were all dinged up and worn. They either need to polish them back up or replace them. It looked that bad.

The bread was a nicely toasted multi grain bread with a standard soft butter.

The Frisee salad was okay. If you like goat cheese, you will love this dish. I think they could have put more grapes, or even some brined golden raisins.

The paillard was a bit of a disappointment. It is just a breaded, deep/pan fried cutlet of chicken. It's nothing special and not worth it. The olive mashed potato was okay as well as the Madeira jus and asparagus that accompanied the chicken. I wish I had ordered the fish.

The cake dessert was nice and festive, very well executed with classic flavor pairings.

The frites were good. Seasoned perfectly for my tastes, with a nice crunchy texture on the outside while still being moist and potato-ey on the inside. Not greasy at all.

Water was always kept full and the server really paid great attention and seemed like he honestly cared about his guests. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. Mostly because of the very friendly service.
