Quaint and slightly old-fashioned,
South of France is an endearing spot.
Regularly chosen in the "most romantic"
categories, and with good reason, the
restaurant is known for its traditional
country French dishes. No fusion cuisine
here. Nothing overly haute either. We
love this kind of place for quiet, comfortable
meals with family and friends.
On our visit, we especially
enjoyed the Coquilles St. Jacques appetizer
($11) – the Cognac Cream Sauce was
indeed "divine," as promised
on the menu. Entrée standouts include
Veal Oscar ($20) and, our favorite, Breast
of Chicken with Olive Tapenade ($15).
We almost hate to let this
cat out of the bag, but the French wine
prices are remarkably good! Well-chosen
selections from Burgundy top this small
but lovely list, but you’ll also
find Bordeaux and the Rhone Valley represented.
A dozen or so American wines round things
out nicely. (april 2001)
Entrées range from $15 to
$35.
Appetizers range from $6 to $17.
