Our first time back to our favorite restaurant since Chef Greg took over, and he did not disappoint. The menu is a very nice balance of some Matisse favorites with some new, wonderful creations. The staff are first rate. We will be back.

The only problem with Le Monde this time was the huge number of people there at 5:45pm and on. It was completely full and despite our early reservation we had to sit in a table for 5 next to the bar. Very noisy and hard to have conversations across the table. The food was as delicious as usual though :-).
