| - My husband and I went to Fleur a couple months ago to celebrate my birthday- and I was not that impressed with the food. Maybe my expectations were too high for this Top Chef Master.
The food presentation was pretty, the service was friendly and attentive, but the food was just OK. None of them "wow'd" my tastebuds. We ordered quite a number of these small dishes, including the foie gras mousse, lobster mac n cheese, tuna tacos, angus sliders, crab and avocado sphere, hummus and baba ganoush. With every dish, I was trying my best to find a reason to love it. Sadly, my favorite part was the cheese platter (and that doesn't require any cooking because I am sure they didn't make the cheese themselves).
After we finished our dessert (which I have since forgotten), the waiter brought out another Lobster Mac n Cheese. When we told him we already received it- he said it was "compliments of the chef". Well, we already ate a whole bowl of mac n cheese- why couldn't they bring it out earlier?!?! So, they packed it for us so we can share it with our daughter at home.
I'm really bummed that we missed Chef Keller's original Fleur de Lys (before they closed it and opted to open Fleur instead) because that sounded deeeee-licious!
