It's been a few years since I've given my thoughts on L'Estaminet. Time for an update, after our lunch there today, July 15, 2017.On the management side, there have been a few changes. Cedrick is still the chef, and a presence in the dining room, but fresh faces are dealing with service. We were introduced today to Nicolas, who did a great job. What we appreciated first was the kindness of Cedrick to "fideles de la maison." We had not booked, and the main room was reserved today for a family's grande fete. But Cedrick assured us we could have a table in the charming little bar, and we were very appreciative. We were well taken care of, despite the fact that the main room was overflowing and could have occupied the staff's attention full time.It's clear that since we last dined here Cedrick has rethought the menu in interesting ways. There are delightful new choices in all categories. But when his saumon fumé is on offer, I can never resist, since it is the best. That's for starters. He has shifted the beef choice to a Charollais tenderloin, which was superbly done. Really enjoyed that. And finally, the creme brulee never fails. The wine choices are as good as ever, but the pichets are very good and moderately priced. All restaurants have changes as they move forward, and as people make changes in their lives. But the change here has been managed gracefully and it remains ... a great local place.
