Food: 5 stars
Service: 5+ stars
Location: In the walkway as you enter the forum shops.
We ordered:
- Asparagus salad (white/green). Served soft & cold. Very different from what we expected but it was GOOD!
- Pan seared duck breast. Once I took my first bite, it was over. I didn't want to talk to my husband, and I just wanted to keep eating. If you looked at my plate you probably would've thought I licked it clean! Not an ounce of anything was left.. their duck is really comparable to some Chinese restaurants if not better!
- Braised beef short ribs. Not an ounce of fat on them! Two juicy big lump pieces came delivered to our table and I look at my husband, and I already knew he was thinking 'that's it? that wont be enough' .. but he couldn't even finish his meal!
- Bread pudding. Wow, the bread pudding here was better than some places we had it at in N'awlins!
Our salad came split for sharing, its like they already knew! AWESOME!
Another server came with a plate of fresh bread for us to choose from.. he gave us one of everything! All of it was really good, the sourdough, pretzel, and cranberry walnut were our favorite!
Service is top notch here! Servers cover your glass while pouring so it doesn't splatter all over the place, they brought my wine with an extra decanter, and they even scraped the crumbs off our table with crumbers..
Wolfgang Puck you did not disappoint!
