Great people watching spot from the teeniest of round tables set with chairs close together on one side for the best possible people watching as seems typical in Paris. Sure, waiters struggle with their French - even going so far as to incorrectly 'correct' my wife's pronunciation of a menu item (my wife spent the first 8 years of her life in Paris). And the waiters need to be able to describe ingredients in the dishes they serve - and especially to let diners know when the chef is preparing a traditional French dish in a very different manner than is traditional. But the chicken dish had the juiciest, most tender boneless chicken breast I can recall having been served anywhere. And the sole in the sole meuniere was cooked perfectly - slightly crisped around the edges, very moist & flaky inside.The 'meuniere' toppings were a departure from the traditional preparation and neither the server, nor, she said could the 'chef', identify certain ingredients in the mixture atop the sole. Very tasty nonetheless. We'll return once the staff has had time to settle in.
