Souffle Restaurant
Souffle Restaurant is a bistro-style French eatery that offers a sophisticated casual dining atmosphere (there are no jeans allowed). Zagat called this restaurant a "hidden gem." Souffle offers Mediterranean food with a French flair, according to its website, and specializes in classic French dishes such as roulade de poulet, beef bourguignon and crispy duck. Souffle is a great place for a romantic dinner but even if you can't find a baby sitter there is also a kids menu with ravioli, penne pasta or chicken. For dessert, you should of course try one of the many souffles.
