In order, there’s:  steamed leeks with mussels, trout roe and vinaigrette; petals of raw scallops with citrus vinaigrette (it got my vote for best dish of the day); and a slice of room temperature grilled beef (hard to see) with toasted mustard seeds, topped with raw carrots and radishes and a very light vinaigrette.

Could you have had this food in New York or San Francisco or Chicago or Dallas or I think so.

If I served you any of these dishes, would you say, “Oh, goody!  French food!”  Probably not, huh?
