Lonely Planet review for Café Degas

A full-grown pecan tree thrusts through the floor and ceiling of the enclosed deck that serves as Café Degas’ congenial dining room. This is a rustic and romantic little spot that warms the heart with first-rate, very reasonably priced French fare. The casual atmosphere is accentuated by eccentric, exceedingly polite waiters. Meals that sound familiar on the menu – steak frites au poivre, parmesan-crusted veal medallions, seared duck breast with mushroom spaetzle – are arranged with extraordinary beauty on their plates. You might feel guilty for disturbing art like this, but it’s a crime for which you will be amply rewarded.

    Delicious French Food

    kmg852 recommends this,

    I have been here several times, the food is excellent. I especially like the hanger steak and the brussel sprout salad. It has a very cozy atmosphere and a good wine selection. They don't really have the space for groups but they will accommodate them.
