Message: | I dined at Aimee's on Friday evening and had a very good pan-roasted veal chop with an intense herbed stock reduction. My wife chose the chicken breast stuffed with sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and goat cheese, which came to the table with the skin crisp and delicious. It was French comfort food rather than cutting edge stuff, but one doesn't go to this restaurant for a culinary high-wire act. I have found Aimee's to be reliably good and the service from Madame Aimee and her staff to be consistently warm and welcoming. There are days when I treasure that combination vastly more than brilliant creations served by a staff with a double dose of highfalutin' attitude.
As regards accordion music, I suffered through years of lessons on that very instrument and am not much of a fan, though I recently heard a street musician who did surprisingly good renditions of "Paint it Black" and "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor." I would prefer a different instrument for my dinner music, but it is probably too much to hope that Aimee will hire a bagpiper any time soon. |
