Food: we had a party of 9, DINNER
We started off with the foi gras appetizer: this was more of a paste, they make it all in house and they scrape off the top layer in the container which consists of solid duck fat served with toasted baguette. I have never had foi gras like this, and i was mighty surprised by the creaminess and the flavor of the dish. Be sure to ask for extra bread because this is a very rich dish and can get a bit overwhelming. Even those in our party that dont like liver enjoyed the dish.
Entrees: some ordered the braised beef (myself included), some ordered the duck, some got the steak and frites, and one person got the ham steak. I myself have tried the beef, lamb, and steak frites all of which are outstanding. The lamb is served on a roasted leg of lamb with flageolet beans in a thyme jus, the meat was cooked perfectly. The braised beef was also cooked perfectly, it is served with some noodle, cooked pork bits and other goodies. The steak frites is served with a fine amount of thinly chopped onions and some cream and of course shoe string fries.
For sides: we ordered the mac and cheese (which was the only disappointment of the evening), spinach, and the potato puree. Ive had better mac and cheese at multiple places, at best the dish is average. The spinach was cooked perfectly, the spinach side at carne vino was better. The potato puree was extremely smooth, probably the best out of the 3.
Dessert: we ordered the chocolate bouchon, and the creme brulee. The chocolate bouchon is 3 little brownies (same one served at bouchon bakery on the 1st floor) served with 3 different types of ice cream (coconout, vanilla, coffee) on top with chocolate on top. This dish was decent, the brownies werent served warmed which was a big mistake. The creme brulee was one of the best Ive had. However it did not have any berries or fruits on top, instead it was just custard and crust. Nevertheless, the consistency was perfect.
Price: for info on prices go to the zagat menu website http://www.zagat.com/Verticals/Menu.aspx?VID=8&R=93909&HID=37
entrees were around 30-40. In my opinion not very much for the quality of food.
Overall: everyone in my party of 9 was raving about this place by the end saying it was the best meal they had all trip. And i share the same sentiment with them. The best part was, it wasn't the most expensive meal we had either. Mario batali's Carnevino's was more expensive
