Last time I was at Le Trou Norman was for Summerlicious. It was a 2 star then and it still is.
I recently went back after dinner in Yorkville for crème brûlée and some drinks. It wasn't a busy night and the ambiance inside was a lot nicer than their outside patio where I sat last time (they even had a guy playing french songs on the acrodeon).
Being a fancy French restaurant in Yorkville, you'd think that they could at least do crème brûlée correctly right? Mais non! Although it means "burnt creme" you don't actually BURN the hell out of the creme! Instead of having a nice crunchy caramelized coating, it had a thick, black, charred coating that tasted like charcoal. Also it came in a small/deep ramekin dish (I much prefer the large shallow ones) which meant that the top was charred to a crisp and the bottom was ice cold.
Come on guys, you've disappointed me twice and now it's because of a simple French dessert. I don't think I'll be coming back here again.
