We had lunch at Frenchette based on a 6 year old review by Pete Wells, which deemed the food mostly -- not entirely -- excellent but overall it seemed like a place worthy of a visit. The review mentioned that it was extremely difficult to get a table at a reasonable dinner hour, so we tried lunch. No problem whatsoever -- a little surprising. The service was 5-star, the ambiance the vibe of a French brasserie that has great food but doesn't take itself super-seriously. But the food was a huge disappointment, so much so that when we got home I re-read the 2018 review to see what was supposed to be so wonderful. There was no semblance of the menu he wrote about; not surprising -- six years later. One thing overwhelmed the entire experience: the incredible amount of salt, and profligate use of butter or oil. I like my food well salted; and I adore butter and good oil. But when a really nice piece of skatewing sits immersed in a greasy pool of fat, it's hard to get at the deliciousness of the fish. And it was good -- every forkful -- but I had to let the fat drip off each morsel. It was oversalted. Did the chef forget that the capers were salty too? My gnocchi were good, but deep-fried -- something not mentioned in the menu. Also over-salted. The fish soup was gorgeous to look at with a lovey pillow of aioli floating in the middle, but again over the top salty. The cassoulet however was so salty that it went uneaten. I urged my companion to send it back, but he didn't. At the end, when the server came by as the table was being cleared, we did point out the problem. She asked if we would like to order something else, but it was too late -- not their fault. It's what we should have done. The wine was good, but am I in a time warp to think it was too expensive -- $20/glass? One dessert was divine -- the chocolate mousse. The other (forgot the name) but it was a piece of a very lean and dry cake, split, and filled with a nice citrus flavor creme. The cake seemed like a mass produce base for a coffee cake; I'm assuming it came from their bakery, but isn't one of their stellar offerings. I did see another review that mentioned the salt, and speculated that it was because the chef was a smoker (which dulls the sense of taste?) In any event, the meal wasn't worth the expense, which is sad because the underlying dishes (the stuff under the salt) looked as if it could have been stellar. And the restaurant took $20 off our bill as a courtesy for the uneaten entree. Next time I would send it back, I know that would have worked.
