TRADITION RESTAURANT – Restaurant

A small French room on South Federal Highway where the cooking is old-school and entirely serious. Chef Eric sends out escargot, onion soup and a goat cheese salad, then braised short ribs, lamb chops, duck breast, filet under a pepper sauce — closing with an Alsatian apple tart or a napoleon. The bread alone prompts a second basket. There are only so many tables, so reservations matter, and prices sit at the higher end. What diners return for is the consistency: courses that land exactly as intended, and a team that reads the room. Unhurried, intimate, genuinely French.
