| - I came here for Restaurant week, so it was $30 for a three course meal. I was really looking forward to this place with all the awesome reviews, but I was met with disappointment.
The appetizer I chose was Salmon Tartar (Smoke Atlantic Salmon, olive oil, lemon juice, capers, red onion, fresh basil, chantilly with chive, and pita bread.) The raw smoked salmon was okay, but the taste was more subtle for being smoked. The pita bread was... pita bread, which seemed almost stale, so that was disappointing to go with the salmon.
For my main entree I had the Lime Scallops with risotto Parmesan
(Saute of Scallops including white wine, lime juice, risotto chicken stock, butter, and Parmesan Cheese.) The Scallops were cooked pretty okay, but the risotto was so... soo... unbelievably poor. Unless the risotto was supposed to be crunchy, I don't think it was cooked remotely correct.
For the dessert, I had Crème brulee (Cream, milk, eggs, rosemary, and fresh fruits). The flavors of the creme brulee was so subtle. and by fresh fruits, it means three shriveled up blueberries and a quarter slice of strawberry.
After writing this, I kind of want to give it 1 star, but the decor was nice. We had their children waiting on us, which was fine - I"m just pointing that out.
I wish I was the type that actually said 'no' when they came by to ask if it was good. But now I just feel unsatisfied paying $40 (with tax and tip) for a meal that I really didn't enjoy. Oh well.
