| - Went here for the wife's birthday... you'd think at a high-end place they would at least offer a free desert... nope!
Overall the food good but for the price is did not impress at all. There were a few small exceptions. I explain below the entire meal.
I'd go here if someone else was paying but for the $170 (including tip) for 2 people with a half bottle ($20) wine I have had MUCH better food and better experience and many other places.
My Suggestion - Spend your high-end $ else where unless you are very wealthy and can drop $170 on dinner like most people would drop $10 on lunch.
Wild Mushroom Soup (sans foie gras) was excellent... worth $10, no but very very tasty.
Duck Two Ways was good, not great. If it had more veggie or a starch with it the $28 would have been a decent deal - but it lacked those so still a bit over priced.
Prix Fixe menu was smoked salmon starter, escolar (one of my favs), veal cheeks, two cheeses, and desert... for $75. For the amount of food it really should be about $55, tops. It was good, not great, let me explain...
Smoked Salmon was excellent... really very, very good... but it was a mere sliver like a sliver of prosciutto.
Escolar (my favorite white fish) was so-so. It was cooked maybe a bit too much and the sauce was did nothign for the fish except maybe cover the delecate, sweet flavor up... or the over cooking or maybe it was not a good cut of the escolar - could not tell.
Veal Cheeks stood out as very good... though the sauce was too thick/heavy and masked much of the natural veal flavor... hint for those that want to get Veal Cheeks here... get the sauce on the side!
Cheeses were excellent, good portion too - no complaints.
Desert was the Gateau Marjolaine - EXCELLENT. Just get it!
