| - Saturday night 7:30 PM. With all other restaurant's requiring reservations, we ended up at Nero's. This may not be a fair review seeing as how I did not order steak here, but let's just go with it anyway. Their service was impeccable - very friendly and helpful with recommendations.
Their walnut raisin bread was fresh, and so delicious! I had to push the bread basket to the other end of the table so I'd still have room for my actual meal.
I decided on the Roasted Foie Gras with apple bread pudding and spiced apple (a starter, $22). The waiter said it would only be a small tasting, but it turned out to be more than enough. The first bite of the foie gras was amazing - perfectly roasted with the right amount of crispiness on the outside while the rest of it melts in your mouth. The taste of the apple bread pudding and sweet syrup blends quite well with the foie gras, definitely pleases the palate. After just a couple of bites though, I had enough - it's a small amount of food, but quite heavy.
I also had the Maine Lobster Bisque with Fresh Tarragon Cream ($14). This was a bit of a disappointment - the soup could have been thicker and heartier. Rather, it was thin, and definitely lacking in lobster. There were only a few small bits sitting at the bottom of the bowl. The taste was OK, but this soup lacked substance. Thumbs down.
Overall, I had a mediocre meal - 3 stars.
