Editorial Review for La Cachette Restaurant – by Andrea Rademan
The Scene
French for "the hideaway," La Cachette is a prime spot for power lunches and client dinners. As such, it's appropriate that the whitewashed ceiling beams, leaded-glass room dividers and navy fabrics create an atmosphere more crisp than cozy. Don't miss the out-of-sight Provencal fare--or the out-of-sight alley entrance behind the restaurant.
The Food
A master of traditional French cooking, chef-owner Jean Francois Meteigner manages to give his dishes a modern edge by minimizing fat, salt and calories without sacrificing flavor. A tart packed with goat cheese, roasted red peppers and black olives is as wispy as cotton candy. Marseilles-style bouillabaisse, served with a rich rouille, brims with black cod, halibut, mussels, clams and scallops. The mesquite-smoked salmon is served with blini or in a savory sandwich with a mountain of fabulous fries. End with an indulgent tart; choose from apple, apricot and almond, or blueberry and black currant.

The service here was very goodl. Our waiter was attentive and he knew the menu well hence was able to give a lot of helpful suggestions. For appetizers, we got the yellowtail special and tuna tar tare, both tasty. My girlfriend got sweetbread which was cooked just right. I ordered the country dish of the week, which was venison. A bit gamey but cooked just the way I like. Dessert was a snuffle, a tiny bit undercooked, but still very good. This is a very "expensive French restaurant" and generally quiet with soft music. A bit dressy, but not over the top. I recommend it, but only for special occasions when you want to spent extra.
Pros: Nice overall speciall dinner place
Cons: too expensive for more that once every 3 months.
