My husband and I finally made it to the new location, having been great fans of the original. We can't think of one thing that could be different. The decor, the table settings (including white tablecloths again), the service, and ,of course, the marvelous food. It took us forever to decide on what to eat as everything looks and sounds so good. One nice element is that some of the favorites from their years in the business appear on the menu, sometimes with just a little different twist. Another is that the price points are somewhat lower than previously, And, finally, it is so nice to see guests dressed nicely. It's in respect to the chef and the quality of the restaurant, I'm sure. Within 10 days my husband and I were back. We need to work our way through the menu!

My retirement group made lunch reservations here after our Sherman Library & Gardens tour. This was mostly for the convenience. What a lovely surprise. The food is wonderful. There were six of us that day. It's a small menu of excellent dishes. They have a non-dairy, vegetarian soup daily. On our visit it was asparagus. It was very tasty. There is a lovely composed beet salad which I did not taste but it got good reviews too. I added the house salad to my entrée for an extra $5. It is chopped butter lettuce with a chiffonade of basil and balsamic dressing. The entrees ordered were a sautéed Dungeness crab cake on an herbed risotto and a yuzu sauce, braised short ribs bourguignon, and grilled salmon on romaine with tomatoes, olives and peppers. The presentation of everything was beautiful. I think the portions were perfectly sized. The salmon looked amazing but I didn't taste it. I tasted the crab cake but crab is not my favorite anyway. It tasted a little fishy to me. I ordered the short ribs. Oh my gosh! I wanted to lick the dish. These were cut-with-your-fork tender pieces of meat on a bed of pureed parsnips with baby carrots in a decadent bourguignon sauce. None of the sauce was wasted. I used bread to sop up every last drop. Pure ambrosia. The prices are a little high but not for the quality and the area. We couldn't have gone anywhere close for less. Café Jardin is worth the price of admission to have lunch in a beautiful setting with convenient free parking. Definitely worth the trip.

I had not eaten here for a few years, and was very pleasantly surprised. The setting could lead you to think you are in France. It was simple but nice. The food that I had--onion soup and Quiche of the day--was excellent. If you want a laid back pleasant meal, seriously consider Cafe Beau Soleil.
