As I walked into this petite, french eatery, I can't help but noticing all the posters on the wall. Apparently, they're original ad pieces from around the world. The ambience was dim and romantic but also very chill and relaxed at the same time. I also noticed that they cater to a much older crowd.
Our waiter was very tentative and introduced me to this enhancer that sweetens your wine. It was the first time I ever heard or saw something like that. It gives the white wine a little rose color and makes it a little more easier for all you non wine drinkers to swallow...hehe.
I never tried fois gras before so I was anxious to finally try it out. We also ordered one of my favorite, escargot. The escargot were cooked with sauteed onions and sausages. I'm not a fan of onions so the aroma ruined the escargot for me. The fois gras on the other hand was splendid. It's not just any pate I've tasted. It had this intense flavor as it melts in your mouth like butter. I must of ate half if it!
The waiting time between our appetizer and main course was quite long so I wasn't too impressed. My lamb dish finally arrived and it was well worth the wait. The lamb was a little over cooked to my liking but yet the meat was still tender. I didn't enjoy the reduction sauce so much and the vegetables were just ok.
I had a piece of my friends duck because they were raving about it but I didn't enjoyed it so much. I thought the meat was tough and chewy.
Overall, the service was awesome and the food was quite tasty. French settings are always so quiet and formal so this restaurant caught me off guard, for the better. Comfort is the key to every meal so when you pair that with informative waiters, you get a very accommodating experience. Definitely a place to come back.
