Not looking for some huge excessive blowout meal-*?I realize there are probably more fab places in Paris. And are jackets necessary/required? Thanks.

Service remains the biggest set back here, but this young chef from France’s southwest and true talent. Tapas-style bar downstairs, fine dining upstairs.

Fancy but not fussy (jackets preferred but not required). The tasting menu is the way to go--we didn't have one poor dish in the 7+ served--and the wine list is good but not great. Darozze is a hot young chef (featured in a NYTimes series a few months ago in the food section) who recently received another Michelen star, which brings it to (I believe) two stars.

There were some bright spots -- an olive oil ice cream with roasted apricots and soem good regional wines -- but I am shocked that this place has two stars in Michelin.
