Date Night in France

Saturday night hubby and I took an evening out for ourselves. It was our first date night in who knows how long. Hubby picked out the restaurant. His choice wasn't a place we would normally select (since what we'd normally pick has been almost impossible to reserve). So the choice was Jeanne d'Arc. Jeanne d'Arc is a small French restaurant in Cornell Hotel, located near Nob Hill.

Coming down the narrow, steep staircase, was like entering medieval France. Complete with stained glass windows, knight armor and French family crests.

The restaurant offers a pre-fixe menu. Escargot, liver pate, a variety of entree choices. Each entree comes with potatoes au gratin. Finally, diners get to select one of three dessert options. The most notable being the souffle as well as a hazelnut chocolate cake. The food was tasty and the service was quick and friendly.

After sharing a bottle of a very nice Rose wine, we decided to stroll over to Rickhouse bar for a night cap. The place wasn't overly packed, so we were able to get actual seats at the bar.The bartenders in their suspenders and newspaper boy hats made some incredible mojitos (yes, two, and all for me).

This made for a great ending to a perfect evening...

Until next time...
