We've discovered Brigitte's restaurant by chance, went there for dinner, and got hooked. We've been dining there occasionally for over 2 years now, and - as opposed to ,many other restaurants, the quality never went down.
The food is exquisitely delicious and creative, without being over-complicated.
The emphasis is on healthy and fresh ingredients.
As the previous reviewer claimed, the portions are indeed not huge. But - we don't really need those super-sized entrees anyway, do we?).
The menu changes with the seasons and market availability, the atmosphere is fun non-pretentious (yes, you'll be welcome wearing jeans), and Brigitte, the owner, is charmingly friendly in addition to being professional, as are the waiters.
Overall: a GREAT restaurant, whether you want to go for a romantic dinner, good lunch or just have real fabulous food.
Don't forget to leave room for dessert :-)

We chose this restuarant for a special ocassion dinner because of great reviews of the food. It turns out this is more a restaurant for dieters. We were very unhappy with the food- there were only four choices of entree; blood sausage, ahi, duck and ribeye. The ribeye came with a pile of raw spinach as the side dish. That entree was $27- a small piece of meat and a pile of raw spinach. I went home hungry. The petite "french onion soup" was 4 oz, no cheese and almost no onion. On the upside, the desserts were good and the wine list was huge. My husband's Ahi was wonderful. Overall though, we felt the night was an expensive disaster.
