French Rotisserie Cafe - La Quinta

We ate outside on a beautiful,warm evening. Our server was friendly and engaging. I am a sucker for salad dressing with tarragon, so the goat cheese salad was the ticket. Perfectly sized for us to share, and the greens, candied pecans, goat cheese and fresh chopped raw green beans made for a beautiful and interesting salad. The ahi tuna appetizer was tasty, and with 8 or 10 slices of tuna on the plate, the portion was larger than other restaurants. The large sea scallops were fresh and cooked perfectly again the portion size was larger than we have had in other places (4 instead of 3), so it was good value for the money. My bouef bourgignon was perfect. Finished the meal with killer chocolate mousse. We brought our own wine (a normal $20 corkage fee) to round out a great experience for a reasonable price.

Both entrees, chicken and duck overcooked. Duck was ordered medium rare. Came well done. Chicken dry. Wonder why $2.50 extra for anchovies on a Caesar salad when they are part of a Caesar salad. When waitress asked how the food was I said the duck was overcooked. No comment from owner who was on premises. Will not return and will not recommend.

What a find! Hiding in a strip mall in a tiny store front we found some of the best and most authentic country French food outside of France. All dishes with chicken are featured and rightly so. The appetizers are also delicious as was the chocolate mousse. Make a reservation- all tables occupied even in a Tuesday night.

They must have overbooked. Our evening started out great but then the jammed in a 6 top next to us so we had to move. The server became flustered and our service went south. We may try one more time but the bill far exceeded the quality this time.

Average food and restaurant. The steak frites ordered medium rare was well done. The fries were good. Beet salad was also good but really large. Staff all seemed new and were having trouble with the menu and service. Hope they hit their stride in the future.
