Thanks again for all of the suggestions. I ended up going to La Repaire de Cartouche and it was definitely a good choice. Since I was with someone from out of town, I wanted something that was more "old-school French" and La Repaire fit the bill. The setting is somewhat rustic and reminded me of something you might even find in the country-side, which was perfect. I started with a delicious steamed artichoke topped with baby spinach, a poached quail's egg and a creamy sauce, while my friend had foie gras. My main course was a perfectly roasted shoulder of lamb with white beans and roasted garlic and my friend had civet which he claimed was delicious as well. Unfortunately neither of us had room for dessert.

If you are in the mood for couscous, Mansouria is not far away, and enjoyable. A bit loud, and probably more so on weekends.

We ate there a while back. The food was well executed and so was the service. We took our first born, then just a wee baby. So I can also add that they welcome children.
