| - One of friends who used to live here, came back to visit, so a group of us decided to hit up Comme Ca tonight to celebrate his arrival.
This French restaurant offers one of the most up close, personal and awesome views of Planet Hollywood, Paris and the rest of the strip. When making the reservations, it was made very clear to sit close up to the windows, just not outside and our seats were choice! Comfortable booths overlooking the bright lights of PH. Although I can't remember his name, our server was very cordial and knowledgeable about the menu. I appreciated his personality and his sense of urgency.
Tonight, I got the Berkshire pork for $34 accompanied with a glass of Pinot Grigio for $15. The dish included three parts of the Berkshire, spring veggies which includes grilled cocktail onions, beets, baby carrots, radishes and Lima beans. There was a little mustard seed jus around the plate to compliment the dish. For the three cuts of pork, I got pork of the rack, grilled pork belly and tete de cochon. If you're not familiar, tete de cochon is shaved pork meat from the head of the pig, along with head cheese (meat jelly from the head) braised to a tender serving and formed into a little disk size portion on the plate. I have to say, although I love a good grilled pork belly, the highlight of the dish was the tete de cochon. It was super tender and the head cheese offered a lot of marbleized flavor, which I can always appreciate. If you're a fan of pork, I would highly recommend this dish to try.
For me, this night was fantastic. Our service was spot on, the view added to a great experience, the food tasted wonderful and the best part about it: I didn't have to pay! LOL.
