Just ate at Garde Manger last week and it was very good. Nice aperitif of the day, Watermelon Belinis. Chuck's signature Caesar garnished with a crab claw was disappointing and watery. We ordered pecan salad and tomato, ricotta salad to start and short ribs and steak frites for main course. The desserts looked intriguing but we were too full. All was well cooked, portions are quite large. Service was attentive but not intrusive. It is a noisy, busy place but us 40 somethings quite enjoyed the atmosphere. We were disappointed that celebrity chef Chuck Hughes was not there that night.
