| - Firstly, I'd like to give a big slap on the ass to fellow Yelper Jonathan S., my company for this meal at Fleur de Lys.
I was wavering between 3 and 4 stars here, but went 4 stars for the exceptional service and delectable dessert.
I got the chef's elegance menu; it was a 4 course taster. I started with the ahi tuna, served over fennel with a garlic ponzu. Tasty!
The next course was seabass wrapped in chorizo, served with a spicy tomato broth. This would have been incredible, but my seabass was overcooked. Had it been prepared properly, I probably would have been in food heaven. The taste combination was there, but it just didn't come out well.
The third course was filet. It was cooked a perfect medium rare, but I think they went a little bit too heavy on the sauce for it. Overall, though, great.
The last dish - dessert - total food boner. It was carrot cake, cream cheese frosting, and carrot/pineapple ice cream. PINEAPPLE AND CARROT ICE CREAM. As soon as I ate this, I could feel a gentle tapping on the underside of the table, my food boner. I could also feel an ominous rumbling in the pits of my stomach; a festering storm.
But I digress. The food was above average but not five star. The service was excellent from start to finish. The cute blonde hostess made me think dirty thoughts, preparing me to devour my meat courses.
But I digress. Ok. 4 stars. Worth trying once, wavering on whether or not I go back with all of the other fine dining options in this town.
