Buvette

Lovely sweet little place, except for the seating. We had one of the worst seats in the house after a 30-minute wait for a table for two people; must remember to come earlier to remediate that problem.

Hi Soba,

 

Agree with you - lovely little place with delicious food, but the seating is a nightmare. How about some seat backs!

I had a very nice experience at Buvette several years ago. I went with my 90 yr old mother, who likes her French food. We went on the early side and sat at the bar. The bartender was incredibly solicitous and the food was right in my mom's wheelhouse. The martinis were huge, and we both got very tipsy, so it would be hard to tell you what we ate. I'm pretty sure it had rabbit in it. And I'm pretty sure we had some type of apple tarte tatin for dessert. Right away we noticed how uncomfortable every seat in the house is, but the friendliness and alcohol and lovely food made up for it. If I was looking for a long and leisurely meal I might go somewhere else where there were chair backs and a bit more padding. Having cocktail hour with food at the bar at 5pm was a good way to go.
