| - I was really excited to come here for brunch. The menu looked great, I had great company, and I didn't have to wait for a table ! Parking was a bit cumbersome, that was it.
Started off with the beignet. The 3 beignets look huge, but it's just airy, not the doughy kind. The chocolate sorbet was light. It was nice. I still think it was missing the raspberry preserves that would have made it taste so much better. I wouldn't order it again. Once is enough. I rather get the sorbets its own.
My friend ordered the foie gras French toast. Generous portion. Messy looking. He devoured it. The skinny girl beside our table took half of it home. He enjoyed it, but of course not like Norma's in NYC.
I had the butter poached lobster with caviar, benny on blini. Lobster were over-cooked! Their hollandaise sauce had a nice hint of lemon in there. It didn't come altogether for me though. They drenched it too much with the hollandaise sauce.
Coffee was meh.
Our server was nice but a bit overly enthusiastic. He would come at all the wrong times to check on us and the food. We either haven't had a chance to take a bite or we were just eating and he would come and we can't talk with our mouths full. it just got a bit too much at the end. He meant well.
I had to come and try it out. Just not a fan at the moment even though everything sounded delicious. I should try their regular pork belly and eggs, something more traditional. Other wise, I think I would stick with Saving Grace, Federal, and raw bar for now.
