The nicoise salad ($15) was large and very fresh, with highly varied flavors: anchovy, olive paste, eggs, skinned tomatoes, celery, onion, cucumber, butter lettuce, potatoes, and tuna. Less interesting was the tuna sandwich ($12), which was at least differently seasoned that you might be used to, and included the scent of anchovy. But the sandwich came with too much bread, and was overpriced. Even less of a value was the child's chicken ($7), which oddly charged for a chocolate milk refill ($3). The chicken strips were not Disney standard, as it had lighter breading and decent flavor. It came on penne noodles, with a basic bland tomato sauce as the only condiment.

One entree that was well worth the expense was the French menu ($18), a pre-set selection of French onion soup, ham sandwich, and creme brulee. The entree came with a salad of fancy lettuces, a rich vinaigrette, and peeled tomatoes. The sandwich came toasted, with excellent ham and an overly-generous portion of melted cheese. But it was the opener and closer which made this meal great. The French onion soup was quite large, with a great thick layer of cheese and bread at the top. There were many onions, and a heavenly flavor. The creme brulee was served cold - not my favorite choice - but was enormous, and tasted decently.

Service was at first snappy, with tremendous fresh French rolls and prompt drink refills. But the food was very slow in coming, on a day when reservations weren't even necessary for lunch.

The atmosphere was essentially mundane and unremarkable. Neither too loud nor too quiet, it had no particularly striking elements of theme or environment. The recent movie Ratatouille led to a kid's menu themed to the rat, which ended up as ironic, since that movie posited that combinations of flavors far exceeded the sum of its parts, and yet the child's meal was singularly uninspired, and in fact just tasted like the sum of its parts.
