I walked by last week and the printed menu had Dover Sole at $42.   That's way less than any place else I can think of.

I've heard that if you see inexpensive Dover Sole in the U.S., you're getting what you pay for - the real fish from England is almost prohibitively expensive (and knowing La Chaumière; it's probably a good-sized piece of fish).

And proper Dover Sole is a beautiful thing, if prohibitively expensive.

Saw this posted by my favorite chef, it involves dover sole. I can only imagine how delicious it must be.

Are they serving this at Mirabelle? If so, what are people complaining about?! This calls for some investigative journalism. 

(Until I looked, I thought that thing on the top-left was honeycomb (!) - didn't make sense to me, but apparently it isn't. Frank lists it as: "Dover sole, potato, salmon terrine. Potato coulis, Ossetra.")

I have no idea if this was real Dover Sole as the price always keeps me from ordering it at home.  But it was on the menu at Palo on the Disney Cruise Line and I tried it.  It was delicious! (The real winner though were the little potatoes which were nuggets of buttery heaven.)

I had the Dover Sole appetizer at Marcel's a few nights ago. If you have ever had the real thing, you will know when it is false advertising,  The flavor and texture are amazing!  It was served over a gateau of zucchini prepared two different ways with a mushroom sauce and a lemon butter sauce.   Absolutely delicious!  The scallops and duck confit napoleon were pretty good too! My favorite restaurant in the DC area!
