| - Not only is the food here exceptional, the customer service here is PHENOMENAL! I came here last night for dinner with a friend and as she was deciding about wines (our server, Maria, brought her a sample of 2), I had decided to order the Foie de Veau (calf's liver, since I'd long ago read about it in Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"... where better to try it than a French restaurant? Until, that is, Maria decided to tell us about the fish of the day, rainbow trout, cooked in "the best coconut milk sauce" she'd ever tasted. Now, I was torn... and upon the advice of the manager, Rob, and Maria, I went for the trout. My friend ordered the foie gras to start, with duck as a main.
The foie gras was AMAZING. Beyond amazing. What's beyond amazing? Use that word instead, because that's what this foie gras was.
The trout was good (a filet with crispy, perfectly seasoned skin, served with butternut squash and green beans in a coconut milk broth that reminded my slightly of Thai cuisine), and so was the duck... but I'd wished I'd gotten the veal, just to try. Rob stopped by to ask how everything was, seemed to sense my regret and quickly offered to get me a "tiny piece of the veal" just to satisfy my craving. This "tiny piece" turned out to be HALF A SERVING, and it was every bit as delicious and amazing as I'd imagined. I'm drooling just thinking about it now...
Anyway, go try it. The veal, the trout... but more than everything else, the foie gras. ALL good!
