I was super hyped to try this place and finally did yesterday. First, the service..it was friendly, prompt and very attentive...so this is a plus!
We ordered Scallops in buttermilk sauce, shrimp and a cheese plate... and they brought out the pretzel bread for apps. Besides the cheese plate, I wasn't overly wow'd. The scallops in the buttermilk sauce had a weird briny taste that I couldn't get past.
For the mains, we had eurobass en croute, pommes aligot, duck with charred endive and the salmon dish. My fave here was the pommes aligot...delicious cheesy, garlicy and buttery if you eat it warm...it doesn't sit well though. Everything else was ok...i was expecting to be floored by the eurobass and duck...and honestly, it was a bit bland.
Our desert was the ziggystardust disco egg...all hype here. The few truffles inside the egg was yummy...but for $50, it's a bit steep and not worth it!
We also had 2 $65 bottles of wine.
Now for the bill...this is definitely not in your average price range...the bill was a whooping $500+ ...i wanted to be wow'd for the price. And I just wasn't... glad we tried it but I likely won't go back. Chantecler in the same neighbourhood had way better food with a french flair and flavors within a decent price range.
