That was a fun time Andy! If I recall Norman and Susan of L'Avion fame were dining there as well!

Amen to that, Kara. Deb was a wonderful part of the forum in its early days!
Re: Le Diamant. We were there that night, as well, and dined at the place a few times when it was first open. It seems to have been on and off over the years. I believe its problem, as Andy noted, is mainly location. This is coupled with the fact that there are so many other interesting restaurants, people have to choose--and Le Diamant doesn't make the cut. Do the locals support it? Having Bruno and his little group of musicians play there may make a difference!

I used to eat there frequently in its first season. Second season, the chef changed, & the place was pretty much empty. Then it closed. Haven't been back since re-opening, but will make a return visit in April
Little known fact . . . the restaurant has a large sub-terraneum (basement?) space that is completely outfitted -- "Studio 54" style -- as a disco club. The restaurant's owner proudly showed it to me one time . . . complete with large bar, flashing colored lights, revolving mirrored ball, & pounding, blasting 70s / 80s club music. Unfortunately, he developed it about 6-7 years ago. Nonetheless, you occasionally can see / hear parties there on Saturday evenings. Disco anyone?

May 2014 Sue and I stopped in for lunch. I ordered le Menu and it has very good - Roasted cod in pastry with a light lemon cream sauce. At least one of the Kitchen staff with chef's toque. We were treated royally. And if I recall correctly, consistent with other comments, there were very few others there. I would go back (especially if the wind was blowing towards the water - not across the etang.)

That is called a disco ball.
I was repeating what Dennis said.
