Go with the Flow

TO BE honest with a location as romantic as this, 'Café Laville' could have served sautéed eiderdown and pulled it off. The fact that the food aspires to edibility comes as a bonus.

Crisp calamari hoops and a tangle of slightly overpriced, spicy sausage pasta deftly avoided a tempting rendezvous with a microwave. House Champagne tied it all together.
