I really wanted to have a full meal here, but we were still full from a late lunch, so I settled for some dessert and coffee. We had the profiterolles and a couple espressos. The coffee was quite good, but I have to be honest that I did not really care for the dessert. It tasted like it came out of the freezer not too long ago and had that overly sweet and preserved quality about it.

Nonetheless, the service was extremely nice and attentive, five stars for that. The restaurant is romantic and cozy. And they were playing Ethiopian Jazz which was so random and awesome!! I'd really like to come back here sometime and have a full meal and give this place another chance. Chez Nous appears much larger from the outside than it is on the inside due to the expanse of street frontage on Neches that it occupies. Nevertheless, the environ inside more resembles cozy than cramped, and, although the interior can be a bit loud at times for easy conversation, it is not nearly as noisy as, say, Wink.

The wine list, while not extensive, is more than adequate. I was well served by a glass of their house Chardonnay, which, proved quite up to complementing the seafood dinner that I knew was to follow.

After looking over the menu (both in advance online and again at the restaurant), I chose to go with the Menu du Jour, which is a prix fixe for three courses including appetizer, entree and dessert. It's a steal at a restaurant of this caliber for only $26.50. I started with a Salade Lyonnaise, which was served with a poached egg atop; spectacular and tasty. That was followed by a Truite meuni??re that was out of this world; best Rainbow trout I think I've ever had, buttery and lemony without being overly so in either right. The accompanying sides were pommes dauphines, carrots, and a tomato, each a work of culinary art in its own right. For dessert, choices were tough, but I went with a Mousse au Chocolat, which lived up to its billing.
