Critical Assessments

The fry at Mathilde Fontaine's Bistro does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The matchstick format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is commendable and largely sustained. The potato flavor is earnest and specific. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Mathilde Fontaine's Bistro, one appreciates.

The crispness of the matchstick fry at Mathilde Fontaine's Bistro is commendable and largely sustained. This is noted first because it is noted first. The interior potato character is earnest and specific. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. First impressions, in the case of the french fry, are usually correct. This one is. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Mathilde Fontaine's Bistro, one appreciates.
