The exclusive four-course dinner, which features seating options between 5:30 and 6:15 p.m. or 8 and 8:45 p.m., is available for $80 per person plus tax and gratuity.In celebration of Valentine’s Day, Au Comptoir has also crafted an enchanting sweet-yet-tart libation that’ll whisk you away to the city of lights with every sip. A riff on the classic sour cocktail, the ‘Paris Sour’ is a delightful drink featuring a mélange of apple brandy, amaretto, fresh apricot and a squeeze of lemon, all topped off with a red wine float to create a gradient red-and-orange hue reminiscent of a Parisian sunset.
