Ate here last night. Julie is an absolute gem. Food and wine were terrific. Hoping to fit it in again before we leave.

My daughter and I were there last night too! Was happy to see it so busy, sorry I didn't know to say hello. Our waiter kindly remembered the wines my husband had chosen last week and offered them again. The artichoke with sauce gribiche delicious as was the lyonnaise salad, roasted eggplant/burrata, beef carpaccio. The baked egg du jour always a must.

Reminds me of a meal at Tamarin many years ago with E & R on a cool and cloudy day with a bit of rain. A fish soup was on the menu due to the “cold weather”

guess which chilly, rainy weather dish we enjoyed last evening ?

hint: it wasn't cassolette :biglaugh:

I was willing to make an exception in the case of La Gloriette..boy, do we miss them

curious if those who reserved at LPI were asked for a CC guarantee (90€/person) ?

i still bristle at this practice.

so far, Nikki, L'Isola, and now LPI have asked for guarantee.

Hi Cass,
I don’t love it either but it’s a small place and I’m sure they can’t afford no-shows. Before we left I reserved for last Saturday night and provided the required form. After dinner we chatted with Julie and mentioned we were planning to return. I requested a new reservation by replying to the previous confirmation email and was not asked for the form again.

At some point when we get back I’ll do a recap but this place is a new favorite. Especially since many of the other new places seem to be more of “the same,” as per LongIslander’s post.

 

[cassidain]

thanks, MB
I'm also awaiting a response from Julie regarding the two services referred to on their reservation voucher. Only 90 minutes apart ! That’s a non-starter if she replies we’ll be obliged to leave after 90 minutes.

for a bit of perspective, Nikki Beach informs that your table is yours for 2.5 - 2.75 hours.

Most folks aren’t drunk enough to order the jeroboam of champagne until hour 2.

Yes, we had to provide one. Going on Tuesday. Had to do it there, Nikki and Le Ti.

They give you go cups in that case.

Resto over on Hilton Head where I'll have lunch on Monday with a friend has a $5.00 pp no show or cancel less than 24 hrs fee...hardly seems worth it, unless I read 'it' wrong. And this place has just celebrated the 30th anniversary on the island, great dining, wine, ambiance. Not many places on the island have that longevity.

Yup. Had to call and give Julie my CC info as I had no intention of sending it in an email.
