| - I was lured to this place with a groupon but left a bit disappointed.
Nice, clean, upscale decor and the type of place that is perfect for date night.
We ordered only mains and a dessert because even with the groupon this place is pricy (and overpriced for what we had, in my opinion).
I had the steak which was okay. Was overcooked and bland. Came with mushrooms and a sauce that didn't really taste like anything? Mushrooms have a mild taste so that with the sauce didn't really add anything to the dish.
My sister had the whitefish stuffed with pork jowl, which she liked, but she mentioned that the taste of the pork jowl was so overpowering that she couldn't taste anything else. To me, that defeats the point of serving both of the proteins if you're cant taste anything but the one.
For dessert we shared the pear tart with white chocolate ganache, white chocolate sponge toffee, and chocolate ice cream. Was not a fan of the crust or ganache. Did not taste fresh or recently made. Tart was a bit hard to get through so my sister scooped out the ganache and ate it. The sponge toffee was awesome, but the ice cream was WOW. Maybe Lucien needs to open up an ice cream joint cuz that ish was INCREDIBLE. seriously, I was about ready to lick that plate clean!
Okay experience, but I don't think I'll be heading back here anytime soon, even with the delicious ice cream as a lure.
