| - We went to Menu6 for the first time this week and though we enjoyed most of what we had, it did not live up to my expectations. The menu was unusual and unimpressive. Normally the menu sounds great at many restaurants and then you're disappointed when the food comes. This was a bit of the opposite. A very scarce selection of entrees included 1 chicken, a few beef, 1 duck, ribs and the rest seafood. If you like seafood combos, this may be your menu as there were 3 different ones. There was not a shrimp-only entree and no vegetarian (though the waiter said he could provide a vegetarian menu) or lamb. All but a few of the entrees came with garlic mashed potatoes including, to our surprise, the lamb chop appetizer. There were only two salads on the menu, a nicoise and a romaine wedge...the nicoise seemed too filling when paired with the rich entree choices and a romaine wedge seemed an odd and unimpressive option for an upscale restaurant, so we passed on both. So after eating mashed potatoes with our appetizer, both our entrees also came with the same. When we asked for a substitute all that was possible was french fries or spinach...no baked potato or pasta options which we found lacking. Was also surprised to find no seasonal vegetables like parsnips, beets, yams, sweet potatoes, zucchini, pumpkin or squash (there was a side on 1 entree), but instead there was out-of-season asparagus on most of the entrees. And the asparagus were a bit of a disappointment as they were steamed extremely al' dente with just a little oil and lemon...grilled would've been a nice alternative. On a positive note, we were thrilled with the olive tapenade that came with the warm, toasty bread, the calamari appetizer and lamb chop appetizer were both a wonderful blend of sweet and savory with just enough of a kick. I would rate the value fairly high as the cost was not overly expensive and portions were more than adequate. The fundy salmon entree was done to perfection with a light honey glaze. Our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. There was a large party there that night and he always kept us informed of our meal status and was very attentive. The dessert menu was similarly limited (chocolate cake, carrot cake or tiramisu) and surprisingly unimaginative, but the tiramisu was probably the best I've ever had. They were out of the bread pudding and the banana gelato. Still, given the season and rich entrees and appetizers offered, a dessert with pears, pumpkin or apples was an unfortunately oversight. All in all we had some pleasant surprises, but had a hard time with some of the limited choices. I know the menu changes often and hopefully the next one will see some improvement. Hopefully one with more of a focus on seasonal items with choices for side dishes. The waiter did say their website has the most recent menu, so we will be sure to check next time before going. We'll give it another try as it's obvious that this chef is very talented. If I could given it 3.5 stars, I would've.
