Ok- a little help please as it's our first visit and I made a list from
all the drooling I've done reading about everyone's experiences.

A couple of choices for a nice dinner evening, and how far out do we need a Rez for Le Florimond, Ma Bourgogne, Le Dome, Le Violin d' Ingres, L'Epi Dubin?

A proven place for a good meal and are we safe calling the day before;
La Coupole, Le Bistrot de Breteuil, Bra Bofinger, Le Caveau d'Ile?
