Editorial Review for Couleur Cafe – by Gina Goff
In Short
Deep red walls, luxurious fabric window coverings and a beautiful copper-topped bar set the stage at this quaint neighborhood cafe. Literati types and area residents gather around two-tops, while friendly French waitstaff bustle about the small space. The menu of bistro favorites includes a warm goat cheese salad laid over fresh crostini, panini sandwiches stacked with salami and savory buckwheat crepes. Desserts like chocolate mousse and caramel creme tempt as well.

Finally got around to trying this restaurant, and I'm so happy I did. The french onion soup is delicous, as is the salmon. We also had one of the mussel dishes, which was also very good. They have several different mussel preparations, so you can always try something new. So happy it's right in the neighborhood too. Can't wait to go back!
Pros: Food, Service, Parking

We came as a party of 11 and started out with the most wonderful salads: mustard dressing, side of goat cheese and a fried egg on top! Nice classic French combination executed in a well-balanced way. I got the duck shepherd's pie-like thing, which was perfect. A hint of orange, the duck was tender yet crispy like peking, the mashed potatoes on top were delightfully flavored with gruyere. It was strangely light considering the richness of the elements. The waitress was friendly, yet business-oriented. She didn't waste time with obsequious conversation, yet she was helpful and playful in discussion of the menu and when ordering. Overall a very pleasant experience. Because of the prices and the overall quality of the food and service, I could see this becoming a comfortable, regular place for me.
Pros: Food, comfortable atmosphere, price, night parking
