La Bonne Bouche

Dinner seems to be a new effort at la Bonne Bouche, and I think they don't know how to do it. The wine was warm (US room temperature isn't OK for red wine, as any real French restaurant knows); the meat was sweet and marred by huge blisters of untrimmed fat; there were only three or four choices of main dish.... It was a bad evening. We had two main dishes and two glasses of wine--no salad, no vegetables but maybe one tablespoon of diced garnish, no dessert, and I should say, no skill or expertise in French cooking--for $85. A real French restaurant can justify that (though they'd give you vegetables and maybe an amuse bouche); la Bonne Bouche cannot. The waitress did everything she could and was terrific, but the other staff wasn't as gracious. We had lunch there a couple of years ago, possibly under other management. My sandwich was wholly American and also bland and flat. I thought the kitchen had changed, but apparently not.
