      Many thanks for the response/link. I'm new to Chowhound and don't know how to search for specific restaurants. To the merits, my wife and I dined at Au Revoir last night. Briefly: (1) mighty glad to have the parking lot, given the rain; (2) I had the rabbit in mustard sauce -- best rabbit dish I've ever eaten -- moist, tender, generous, accompanied by perfectly-cooked carrots and button mushrooms on a bed of what the menu called "pasta" (and I call spaetzle) topped with a mustard sauce that was creamy, subtle and extraordinary; (3) the broth of the onion soup was herby, authentically Frenchh and delicious; (4) the menu variations my wife requested were cheerfully and accurately granted; (4) the Bordeaux-bred hostess/server, Marie Olivia, was knowlegable and delightful; and (5) on the down-side, poor M.O. was the only server so that getting the check became a siege. We go often to The French Gourmet and Tapenade and are pleased to add Au Revoir to that list.
