The vegan black bean cake dinner option coupled with ratatouille and fingerling potatoes was superb. If you're vegan and order the olive appetizer, just ask for them not to butter the toast. Someone at our table ordered the Steak Frites and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food excellent as usual, atmosphere is amazing, and service impeccable.
