Updated, reviewed 10/30/12:
After almost 2-years since it opened on Rue St. Honoré, we had an opportunity to return. All I can say is the food and service has dramatically improved. We went for lunch and they had a Pre-fix menu for 35€. The menu still had their signature dish of the "poitrine de cochon" still my favorite dish; however, the dish was much lighter since it was served atop of wilted cabbage and some carrots. We had the Coquilles St. Jacque served over a nice vinaigrette, a tuna confit, which was excellent. And, some cheese at the end. Only minor complaint I had was the salad accompanying the cheese had a dressing that was extremely sour.
The service is much better than I had remembered, with very nice and amicable wait staff. I would definitely go back.

There's been so much fanfare and hype about this new restaurant location that we were quite excited to go and check for ourselves. We were 4-people, all seasoned "foodies" -- two had been many times to the Le Regalade in the 14eme and liked it. I did my homework, and found a very "mixed" bag of reviews. But with an open mind we entered anew.
The atmosphere was quite minimalist, with the exception of red hanging pendant lights and tall ceilings, it lacked any real color or charisma. I felt like donating a few "modern" paintings to give it some soul, oh well.
We were treated with a complimentary glass of white wine of L'haurault. It was quite refreshing and excellent since it was quite a warm evening. We checked out the specials, but I already knew what I wanted, since they're known for the poitrine de porc (literally means porc chest, but often referenced as porc belly).
