I love this place and wanted to add a few words and pictures to Larry's essay.
Having been advised by Ann and Larry, I telephoned for a reservation at 1 PM and Natalie immediately told me not to be late. We arrived on time, had a wonderful lunch, a delightful chat with Natalie and Eric who approved of our promptness and have been back many times since. Came for lunch one time with my friend Dan, who asked Natalie for a beer. She smiled while saying no and brought us a lovely bottle of rose. Now they do serve beer at Petit Gris, but I think Natalie felt it was not appropriate for friends of Ann and Larry to be drinking beer with their lunch. Dan recovered and became a fan, going back for another meal and ordering correctly.
Barbara and I are heading back there next month with mixed emotions, happy that Natalie and Eric and family are free to do whatever they want to do next, sad that our favorite restaurant will be different. It may be fine, the food may continue to shine, but it will be different. Au revoir mes amies et merci beaucoup.
