Rat's Restaurant

Really cute French restaurant a little out of the way. They were very good about modifications and dietary restrictions. They said we needed reservations, and so we called it in. They ask about allergies on the phone, which was a good sign. There is indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is really nice, reminiscent of Giverny in France. Portions are just right, not too big. Have had better french onion soup, but still good. They start with offering bread and butter and there is gluten free toast available too. It is not the best gluten free bread, but it's nice to have the option. They charge $2 extra for it, but do not say that up front. They bring 2 slices. I got the French onion soup without cheese and croutons and only ate half, tried the potato wedges without the butter. The side of potato wedges is my favorite way to eat potatoes, and plenty to share. They were very accommodating. The ducks walk around outdoors in between the tables. My companions ordered branzino and scallops. They liked their meals. If you're a fan of impressionist art, come sit outside and take in this view!
