I also have to disagree completely - Clovis has been consistently good, and a good value, every time I have been there, especially since they upgraded the whole operation some years ago. (and, `tarte tin tin`?? -- doesn't give one confidence in this review.) - Is follow up to post by hanson.lenny ...
Please don't judge French food by what you eat here. Bad Bad experience. We will need that food to digest before we can create a hilariously funny story about the salty spinach (which was actually very well cooked, probably the best thing there if they hadn't so over salted it)--the Tarte tin tin swimming in watery carmel, and the tasteless, dry beef in the coconut sauce was not edible. I didn't particularly like the cauliflower gratin but I can't say it was "bad". Trying to be fair, salad was fine, the scallop dumplings (quenelles) weren't bad; sauce was well seasoned but heavy with flour; service was fine; linen was clean, but that main dish and dessert was a killer--neither my dinner companion nor I could eat our braised beef with coconut milk.
The saddest thing is that you could tell that this restaurant is trying--they just plain don't know what good food is. Look at the effort in the menu; the little cauliflower gratin cooked in a round pan; the spinach was prepared from fresh. The crust of the tarte tin tin was not bad, but the apples were undercooked--and the fact that the whole thing was swimming in a liquidy burnt sugar sauce didn't add any value.
I would rather have had canned tuna and saltines at home. A waste of good money. -- 2/1/2006 12:49:43 PM
