I’ve been to Brasserie Du Vin many times. We used to go to the wine tasting that they have every Tuesday. The escargot is awesome and I’m usually not a fan of that. The daily fish entry is also good, depending on what fish is served that day. They had hamachi once, that was really, really good … and all at the happy hour price. Hmmm … I think it’s time for another visit there.

No matter where I’m at, if Escargot is on the apps menu, 9 out 10 times I order that. LOVE the stuff. That green color is probably simply minced parsley.

That Grilled Quail with fresh oranges, fennel, mixed greens and an almond-mint reduction sounds the most interesting to me, and probably what I would have chosen as well.

That Prix Fixe menu sounds like a good value.

Tony, looking forward to your review of Le Bistro in Niu Valley… that is unless I beat you to it!

LUV those snails!! The green herb…has to be parsley which is what is usually used in the dish.

In San Francisco there is a French Brasserie near my house called Shu Shu.
Love casselettes with the butter crust on also on top of their popular French Onion Soup. Will check this place out when flying back on business with guests.
