"Petits Plats" is a French idiomatic expression that refers not to small plates literally, but to the welcome (often accompanied with food) extended to guests. One taste of its offerings, and you'll sense that you're a well-loved friend. The kitchen transforms high-quality ingredients into memorable meals richly infused with flavor and texture. Salmon tartare makes the most of fresh seafood, as does an appetizer of sauteed squid. Other entrees feature quail, trout, scallops, veal, duck, and chicken. The townhouse setting allows diners to sit in one of four quiet rooms; you'll feel like you're enjoying dinner at a friend's house.
