In a city full of loud, casual restaurants, La Baguette provides a quiet place to relax in a pleasant setting. Although it would be considered an upscale restaurant, it is not terribly expensive unless you choose to order certain bottles of wine and/or go overboard on the appetizers and desserts. Of course, it may be hard to think of a French restaurant without these "essential" items, but the main dishes at La Baguette are competitively priced with other restaurants.

La Baguette offers a full line of sandwiches at lunch, and this is one of the most popular features of the restaurant. The sandwiches are also available in the evenings except Friday and Saturday.

I am generally in unfamiliar territory when it comes to French food, but the Chicken and Mushroom Crêpes looked like a good bet. These were done very well, and the cream sauce was delicious to the point of trying to soak up every bit of it into the food. The dinner came with a relish on the side that added a little flavor to the crêpes, but it was equally good eaten by itself. The mashed potatoes were excellent. The crêpes were served on top of fresh green beans, but in what is probably typical French fashion, only about five were served so that there was barely enough food to provide anything more than an adornment.

Onion Soup is available as an appetizer. I would rate it about average, with the cheese layer on top being burned to the point that I left much of it unconsumed.

A Crème Brûlée dessert was a little large and expensive for one person. The one served me was cold, as if it had been refrigerated but was not fully returned to room temperature before serving.

A bakery is located in front of the restaurant, and offers some additional choices for desserts.

My entrée at La Baguette was quite enjoyable and good quality. The wine also seemed to be a good value. Some other aspects of the restaurant seemed to fit the stereotype for French food--overpriced, in small portions, and food that is not as enjoyable as at American or Italian restaurants.
