(From August 2011) A lovely outdoor patio with a view of the Rose Garden has been added, and the expanded menu now includes the likes of grilled tilapia (in poblano cream sauce) and pecan-crusted chicken, as well as the usual luscious salad plates (our chicken salad with apricots was delightful, as always). Even better, the dishes are quite affordable, and the staff provides an experience as serene as the surroundings. Bar. |

(From March 2012) Additional dining space now includes a grand piano and a handsome bar for the overflow crowd rushing in to sample the expanded menu. We enjoyed the portobello sandwich with provolone and tomato, the tomato Florentine soup, and grilled tilapia tacos with a red-cabbage hash. We were tempted by the pitas filled with roasted lamb, lettuce, tomato, and tzatziki, but those will have to wait until our next visit. Beer & wine. |

(From May 2012) Owner Bernard Tronche has the perfect remedy for the current hard times: his lovely French restaurant now offers a three-course Bistro Meny on Tuesday and Wednesday for $25. We enjoyed an olive-and-onion tart before polishing off a perfectly pan-fried steak and pesto sauce accompanied by wonderful frites. An orange-blessed chocolate mousse brought out meal to a sweet close. (The usual menu, as well as the à la carte blackboard listings, is also available.) Bar. |
