Just came back from dinner at le Normandie - Pretty good but I was not overly impressed. It's a nice restaurant, with good views both over the river on one side and the city on the other. The service is friendly and professional. The food was good, but not oustanding. Bread was not really warm, butter was cold and hard, the amuse was weird (in a bad way), one of the entrees was way too sweet (a lobster/mousse concoction), some accompaniments were really only so-so, the foie gras dish was somewhat disappointing (although certainly not bad). Some dishes were very nice, however (there was a very good pigeon and decent scallops). Cheese selection, petits fours, and coffee were very good. Considering the price (this place is *expensive*), I would not go back; it was a nice evening but once was enough.
