This unlikely storefront location in Ballard houses a hidden jewel. The intimate dining room is elegantly simple and inviting û a bit of Paris in Seattle. Chef/owner Bruce Naftaly changes the menu every month to incorporate what`s fresh and seasonal. Entrees like the fresh poached halibut with chanterelles and roast duckling with black current sauce come with salad and a choice of starter like fresh sole and shrimp mousseline with chive beurre blanc. The creme brulee is out of this world.
