| - This review's a bit old but it's never too late! Came here during Restaurant week back in Sept and was the first guests to be seated (since we made reservations at 5:30PM, right when they open). The ambiance is nice and classy with plenty of patterns going on to distract you while you sit. It's pretty quiet in the restaurant so I felt like I had to whisper the whole time. Anyhow onto the important stuff: the food!
For $50 during restaurant week, this place was AMAZING. I think I'd still come back even if it wasn't for the restaurant week deal.
Foie Gras Martini is AMAZING. That is, if you love foie gras. It comes with a nice plate of assortments to eat such as raisens, walnuts, etc. It was definitely a great drink to kick off the meal.
Amuse: Chilled Consommé of Spring Chicken with Fresh Turmeric - A delicious and light way to start off the meal.
Heirloom Tomato Salad; Burrata Cheese with Caviar, Melon, Spring Garlic Vinaigrette - I don't understand the craze about heirloom tomatoes but these were delicious. I like appetizers that start off light before they hit you with the heavy entrees.
Globe Artichoke Soup; Summer Truffle Mousse, Orange Oil - This was delicious! This was rich and savory and really fulfilling.
Intermezzo ; Grapefruit Sorbet With Mineral Water And Mint Oil - Super tangy but definitely cleanses the palate like it's suppose to (or something like that)
PAN-SEARED DUCK FOIE GRAS caramelized apple, five-spice crème anglaise, port wine reduction - Ugh, I love seared foie gras so this was a great dish for me. Nothing particularly special but it's made just the way you expect it to taste. Pure deliciousness.
Free Range Chicken; Sweet Corn & Poblano Ragoût with Foie Gras Mole - The chicken was cooked very well, very juice.
Grilled White Peach; Almond Milk Sorbet with Vanilla Bean Jus - This was a heavier dessert to finish off with. Delicious with whole slices of peach which might have been a little too much dessert but still good.
Overall, the service was friendly and attentive, the food was delicious. I loved it. I also like that it's kind of this unassuming place so you don't feel like it gets super crowded.
