Cavalier

$$$-$$$$, French, Downtown

User Rating: ***** 5.0

Fodor's Review:

The view of stone balconies overhung with wisteria, gently lit yellow and cream walls, wood ceiling beams, and alcoves filled with racks of wine offer a warm welcome. The predominantly French menu is modified by Mediterranean influences and even a few Japanese touches. Among the many starters, the sashimi tuna in sesame oil and wasabi and the goose liver are particularly fine. For entrées try the delicate combination of red drum fish (known locally as moussa) and shrimp with fragrant citrus oil and fettuccine. Don't miss the excellent desserts, including a traditional Provençal lemon tart and a couple of death-by-chocolate choices.

Perfect for a Romantic Dinner

Posted by suntravler from Florida on 7/29/07

We dined at Cavalier and it was a thoroughly delightful experience. You would have thought you were in a tiny bistro in France. It's lovely inside, just a few tables, many beautiful flower arrangements, and candles. Service was very professional and attentive. The chef was trained in France but uses the local Mediterranean ingredients in his French cooking techniques.
