| - before you all start thinking i'm a baller, i've got two words for you.
pre fixe. ok, maybe it's one, but i don't speak french.
ask for the prefixe menu - for about $35 a person, you get an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. a screamin' deal for good quality food! the prefixe menu changes seasonally, I think, as my parents went in april and there were slight changes since my visit in december. (on a side note, the siblings and i gave our parents a gift card for dinner here for their 29th anniversary - i mentioned it to the hostess when i was making the reservation for them, and they gave them a complimentary dessert! again. great service.)
the bf and i went here on a whim - (but call at least an hour before you go, especially th-sun; alternately, you can make reservations online as well) and were seated rather promptly.
we ordered some sushi (the sunrise roll), just to see if it was up to par. it wasn't bad, but it wasn't terribly exciting either - so i'd pass on that next time.
appetizers: we had the grilled skewers ( 4 skewers - 1 shrimp, 1 eggplant, and 2 satay beef). one of my beef skewers was more like a charcoal skewer - and our incredible waiter brought me a beautiful new one.
entrees: hibachi grilled salmon and braised short ribs. both were fantastic. the salmon was tender and perfectly flakey and moist. the short ribs weren't oversauced and were soooo goood!
desserts: macademia nut torte - simply divine. but the piece de resistance (so good, it's making me speak french!) was the Hot Chocolate Souffle. oh.my. i would go JUST for that souffle. amazing. delectable. fantastic. spectacular. i'm in love with a dessert.
anyways, go for a superb meal and wonderful service. it's worth the price! (plus, $35/person is actually good for 3 courses!) and if you're bringing a date, valet is FREE with your dinner (get your ticket validated by the hostess). don't make her walk in heels in the bitter december desert cold, like my bf did. but it's ok, the souffle was worth it.
