Le Penguin

What a quaint space and excellent food. The drinks were fantastic (Vespers and Margaritas). The appetizer, steak tartare, was perfection. The entrees (mussels and fries and trout almondine) were delicious! Service was great, the music was good and the crowd was great. No bar space, only sit down service. But recommend it for the good food. Beautiful restaurant. Friendly staff. Great food and Awesome music. Couldn't be happier.

Having dined there before, we were looking forward to a wonderful meal again. We were greatly disappointed. The wait staff were friendly but the manager (owner?) was arrogant. I asked that the front door be closed so the air conditioning would cool the room and was told that HE liked it that way. My raw oyster special was riddled with shell shards and my husband's tuna tartar was just so -so. My husband ordered the special, pan seared fluke. It was barely warm and the mashed potatoes tasted like they were left over from Thanksgiving. I had rack of lamb. I asked for rare and got raw. It was served over white beans that reeked of rosemary . Rosemary so over-powered the flavor that it was all I could taste all evening. Given the noise level and the way you are crammed into tables like sardines, we will not be returning. A $600.00 dollar lesson learned.

Very good French cuisine at reasonable prices! Outstanding and worth going to. If you go when it is cold out, be sure not to sit by the door, there is quite a draft! Enjoy!
