Cuisses de grenouille Provencal -- sauteed with tomatoes in white wine, butter, and garlic -- is on the dinner menu along with thermador de crevette (prawns, crab, caviar, white wine) and an awesome vanilla souffle with Grand Marnier creme anglaise that I had recently. On the lunch menu, check out the foies de poulet (crispy chicken livers with sauce gribiche and cornichons).
