Hurts me to give this place 3 stars, and with that I'm being generous...
After reading all the great reviews, my friend and I decided to give this place a try. Made reservations before our show of the Blue Man Group (which by the way was AWESOME). It was a bit confusing finding this place since we had to go up the elevator then follow the tiny signs leading to the restaurant.
Upon arriving we were promptly seated at a small table near the windows. Our server was extremely personable. Love that in a server :) Menu was pretty simple and is given by a folded pieces of paper... I suppose.
What we ordered:
Terrine de Foie Gras de Canard (2.5 oz with toasted brioche & crème fraîche) - $25.00 Wasn't too pleased with the taste of the Foie Gras.... not sure if this particular dish is supposed to be an acquired taste, but I can not see myself liking it. My friend couldn't even taste it. Pretty bummed with how this turned out. It was definitely rich, but lacking flavor. The best part about this was the bread it came with...
Fiscalini Bandaged Cheddar (cow's milk served with served with honeycomb) - This was super delicious. First time having honeycomb and didn't know what to expect. It was super sweet and delicate and was perfectly complimented with the cheese. Recommend!
Truite Amandine (pan-roasted Idaho trout with haricots verts, toasted almonds & beurre noisette) - $28.50 Saw this dish on the travel channel with Anthony Bourdaine and was super excited to try it. Presentation was beautiful and the trout was cooked perfectly.
My friend ordered the lamb, which is said wasn't very good... he was expecting so much more for the price he was paying. Can't really comment on that since I didn't try it! He's not very picky...
In all it was just an OK experience. Was expecting so much more for the price and hype.. not sure if i'll come back here again. However, service was spectacular!
