La Sous Terre

Stumbled upon this place by accident. Was out at the local stores and got hungry. My company wanted a coffee shop, so we took off walking down the street to where she knew a coffee shop was. While in that coffee shop I asked if they had food, they said no, its down stairs. This man stood up and said im going there now to open up. So we walk out the door and follow him. He begins to accend down some stairs on the side of the building. Unlocks the door, we walk in and we see a bar some small table that are about chest high and have stools. He said have a seat any where while I open up. We sat our selfs. He put on some music, turned on the lights and I just felt this comfortable warmth come over me, like this place is nice. Not nice like it had marble floors and gold door handles but nice as in good people, good food, and good vibes. We later found out the man was the owner. He gives us a very shirt list if items and asked what we wanted to drink. From all the wine decor I could tell whine was probably an important part of its identity, however I dont drink much so we ordered sodas/pop. While taking the owner, which I think his name is Robert, he brought us some sample soups. I have never in my life ordered a soup but after sampling the soups, thats what I did and so did my company. He goes in the kitchen and we talk. We can hear him back there working magic. Shortly after he brings out our warm bowls of soup. He then brings out a plate of some bread, which I already forgot what he called it, but it was amazing. Not too soft and not too hard. As we ate our soup I was suprised that I ordered soup and that it was very good. We finished our soup in no time. We chatted with the owner and he was very nice and very polite and very knowledgeable about how to prepare and cook food. He had a love for it. We got up to leave and I looked the place over one more time and took in the very old tile floor, the wooden walls, the dark but comfortably lit lighting and enjoyed it all. I rarley give 5 stars but I am giving this place 5 stars. Step out of your burger box and try LA Sous Terre!!!!!

Great cellar bistro. Lobster bisque is delish. Cool jazz background music. Get away from your hectic day. Fruendly owner!

This is a tiny cafe with a quiet, cozy feel. The owner is friendly, and the food is amazing. Perfect portion sizes for a good price. We need more restaurants like this in the world.

Love having lunch at La Sous Terre! The richest most delicious soups and hearty sandwiches....you can tell the owner puts his heart in his creations....relaxed atmosphere is a nice way to be off the clock for a bit!
