| - I cannot understand why this restaurant doesn't have higher ratings! As a result, I've decided to start a yelp account solely to give this place the credit it deserves.
Walking in, the restaurant was much larger than it appeared from the outside and had a sophisticated interior design. We were immediately greeted by the host, seated at our table and given our set menus to choose our soup, salad and entree.
My meal consisted of:
1. The pre-set appetizer trio of foie gras, oyster topped with caviar, and smoked salmon. Topped with gold flakes and set on a toasted slice of baguette, the foie gras was very buttery with the perfect consistency. Hands down my favorite of the trio. The raw oyster was very fresh that there was no prominent fishy taste that most cheaper ones have and had a generous amount of caviar on top. Lastly of the appetizers was the smoked salmon. Like the oyster, it was very fresh, mild and wasn't too fishy.
2. The salad options were romaine hearts and mixed greens. I had chosen the romaine that came with homemade croutons and bacon bits. In addition, we were given a flight of salad dressings which was very well presented and came with many different choices. Not much to say about this dish since it was pretty simple but the croutons were good and the salad was crisp!
3. The soup options were between lobster bisque and french onion. I had ordered the lobster bisque but was a bit surprised/confused with what was brought out. They first bring you out a dish with a scoop of lobster pieces before they pour you your soup. Prior lobster bisque I've had usually were pink and on the creamier side, almost like a clam chowder. This soup was brown and a bit thinner than chowder, rather it was similar to more of a gravy in both color and taste. Though I wasn't use to this type of bisque, I didn't mind it and actually quite enjoyed it. It had almost a meaty taste that I cannot properly decipher but did not lack in lobster flavor.
4. The entree options were a sirloin steak, rack of lamb, and salmon filet. After much deliberation between the lamb and steak, I decided with the rack of lambs. It was presented beautifully. Garnished with thyme, grilled zucchini and sauce on the side, it was probably the best I've ever had. They did an amazing job charring the outside while keeping the inside moist and was nicely cleaned. My boyfriend had gotten the steak and given me a piece to try and that too was delicious! Mild in seasoning but so moist and buttery, I still cannot choose as to which I liked better.
5. The chef's choice of dessert for us was a Napoleon. I'm not quite sure as to what that even is, but what we got were two puff pastries drizzled with chocolate sauce sandwiching a scoop of vanilla ice cream and slices of strawberry. The plate was nicely decorated with a strawberry compote and the dessert was strategically stacked to resemble a tower. I'm was never one to have a sweet tooth so the dessert was okay for me. A bit too much pastry for me in ratio to the ice cream, but not too bad that I didn't eat it or hated it.
All in all the menu was pretty great in my option and really worth the money! I would 10/10 definitely visit again if I were in the area and bring friends and family. Our waitress was amazing and so sweet. She was timely with changing our plates and silverware and it was a pleasure!
