| - First Experience here - Underwhelmed. I have been wanting to try the this restaurant for at least a year or so. So when I finally had a chance to go I wanted to try different items off the menu since many of the items on the menu looked interesting and tasty like the chicken liver mousse, braised rabbit, quail, etc.
My husband and I asked about the chef's 4 and 6 course meals, and the waitress, said that you had to be open to all types of food. I thought great! We'll be surprised with some interesting things. So we decided to have the 4 course meal and decided we could always order more, if we weren't full.
I will have to say that the food was OK, but not outstanding and I was rather underwhelmed with the choices. That being said this is what we had.
The Mushroom Bisque soup with truffle oil. This was a very good palette cleanser
1st course - An arugula salad, with prosciutto and an herb dressing. - Pretty standard fare, nothing special.
2nd - Apple smoked chicken drumstick over some navy beans with apple foam drizzled over the chicken and beans. - It was moist, but flavor wise nothing spectacular.
3rd course - Pork loin slices over a risotto - The pork tasted fine but was a little tough and the risotto was ok flavor wise.
4th course - Dessert - Milk chocolate Panna Cotta - was a tasty for an Ice Cream.
Overall it was an OK meal, but I didn't finish my meal wanting to try anything else.
I think one of things that impacted my rating as well, was the service. Our waitress really wasn't overly helpful. I told her this was our first time here and all she could tell us that it was a farm to table restaurant. It be nice to see someone a little more enthusiastic about the menu and explain some items.
We ordered cocktails at the beginning of our meal and they took a really long time. When I say long, I mean the man at a table next to us, sat down after we did, had his soup and was well into his entree, by the time we received our cocktails.
Also, we wanted to have a different wine with each course so we ask her a couple of questions, about what we should pair it with. She was semi helpful, but didn't want to ruin the "Surprise" of the course so gave us, a, yes that would go ok. After ordering our 2nd glass, we recommended maybe a wine pairings to go with the courses like some other restaurants have. and she was like, oh yeah, we have that...
Really? Thanks for letting us know...
Not sure if I'll be coming back. I would like to say I would like to try some of the less standard fares like the Bison Strip Tatar or their black mussels, but I'm not sure if it's worth going back for the less than stellar service and not being overly impressed the food the first round.
