| - I am usually quite stingy with my five star rankings, but this place deserves one of them! My husband and I came here to celebrate our 6 month anniversary and were impressed. I ordered the lobster with risotto, but wanting something heartier, my husband leaned toward the lamb shank. However, he's not a fan of couscous and although the menu says that substitutions are kindly refused, we asked our waitress and she didn't hesitate to give us other options. So don't be discouraged, it pays to ask! We had mashed potatoes instead, and it was fantastic.
The lamb shank was hearty, fork melting goodness with a great red wine sauce. The lobster was perfectly cooked so that it didn't get close to rubbery, but didn't make you feel like you were eating sushi. The risotto was creamy and a perfect balance to the light lobster.
Lastly, we had a terrible time trying to decide which tarte to try, finally, having the four berry tarte with ice cream. If we hadn't been so full, we probably would have ordered more than one. The tarte came out piping hot, with melty ice cream on top. The crust was perfect, not too sweet, and crumbly.
Make sure to make reservations and save room for more than one tarte!
