She used to love the stuff at Jeanty at Jack's, before they closed. Any recommendations? Thanks!!!

Not amazing, but will definitely satisfy your cravings. Or you could drive to Bistro Jeanty in Napa. Thu Oct 22 22:46:39 -0700 2009 5123568 292347 vulber 3 5125028 I second this... very, very good. Piment d'esplette is a fine addition. Fri Oct 23 08:04:00 -0700 2009 5124474 163640 twenex 1 5124948 Bix Bix Bix Bix Bix Bix and, if that doesn't satisfy, you might want to try Bix....

Sat Oct 24 17:59:53 -0700 2009 5127728 52092 mick 3 5128410 Yes, Bix has it all the time. It is better requested prepared tableside. When they are very busy, sometimes it will come out already prepared. Last year, I had tartare in England, France, Spain, and Switzerland. I still like Bix's version best.
