It's been a long week at work! Friday night, i got off work at 7pm. all i wanted to do is to get dinner then go to bed. A friend at work also got out at the same time, we decided to eat some somewhere near work, Chez Papa.
the dinning space is quite small with about 12 bistro tables (for 2 each) and a couple tables outside. the light was dimly lit which i found very soothing after a long week.
the staff were almost all french, friendly and knowledgeable. the crowd - pretty normal, no children here on this friday night.
service was prompt, we ordered right away and the food came at perfect timing. i had 2 appetizers - ahi tuna tartar with avodaco mousse and the dayboat scallops with fava beans in pistou sauce. i like the peperika in the tuna tartar - added a kind of earthy spicey favor to the dish. the scallops were perfectly seared, delish with the fava beans and the pistou sauce. i washed it down with a glass of sancere, even though i shouldn't have since my belly was still sick. anyway, the sancere was perfect, nice and crisp, not too dry with a hint of fruit. my friend had the new york steak well done and a glass of rose. i had a bite of the steak - yummy with sweet caramelized onion sauce. we didn't order desert, everything sounded kind of heavy and we were stuffed anyway.
i didn't have my camera with me, didn't take any picture - good reason to come back.
