"Celebrities flooded back for classic escargots, effortless service, impeccable ambience."
"I adore the brandade, which is coarse and rustic, a mound of potatoes and salt cod marked with rivulets of olive oil, and topped with thin shards of toast."
"The escargots drew my companions' attention, large brown coils filled with juicy snails with plenty of the most important part -- the butter, garlic and parsley at the bottom of the baking dish."
"The butter and the béarnaise are brilliant in their richness. The french fries, soaked overnight, and cooked to a perfect crisp in peanut oil, are an achievement on their own."
