Eloise

A NEW PLAYER on the block: Eloise, a garden-based restaurant south of Sebastopol, in the country joint formerly occupied by Chez Peyo and then, for a short time, Bistro V.

It's a serious place. Nice room, small interesting wine list, attractive menu. We had:

Amuse-gueule: croustade with lima bean puree, black truffle oil

Puntarelle with bacon and egg vinaigrette

Cassoulet

Baba au rhum

and everything was quite fine; I'd go back tomorrow.
