| - Four letters - L-O-V-E! We went to Coup Des Tartes last night and have nothing but great things to say about this little place in Uptown Phoenix. The dining room is charming and comfortable, the service is excellent....and the food, oh, my! Salad and starters were yummy, but not amazing. For this visit, the amazing-ness started at the entrees. I had the sea bass with mango salsa and hubby had the filet. Both were expertly prepared and delicious. My sea bass was like butter, melted in my mouth - so good! My husband said the steak was the best he has had! It's topped with a yummy garlic-y butter which as perfect! Now, moving on to desserts: THIS is were it really gets good! I had the chocolate and salted caramel tart with fleur de sel...OMG! This was absolutely amazing! It was very rich and chocolate-y, very sweet with caramel and just a little salty - perfect! I ate every last crumb! (although I did allow my husband to have a single taste...) My husband had the banana brulee, another really great dessert - he liked it a lot, but admitted mine was better. We brought our own bottle of wine...that was really nice since I was able to bring one of my faves that's not always on restaurant wine lists.
I will go back again and again. It's a great date night spot, but also a great place to meet girlfriends or take out of town guests.
