| - Oh wow, yum.
We came for a Valentine's date last night. I had asked AT to book it weeks in advance, they called at least twice to confirm. I guess it was that much in demand.
It was a set menu priced at $60 per person. Wine was extra.
The atmosphere in here is definitely Bohemian. It's not the posh bistro that you would find on champ elysses, nor does the food in the menu reflect that.
Tons of appetizers to choose from - escargot, salad, lobster bisque, pan sear foie gras for an extra $10. I got the roasted sweetbread that came with a bunch of side fixings. It was the best part of the meal.
AT got the doie liver pate. Good, but not as worth the money as my sweetbread.
For the entree, he ordered the Wild Boar that came with some sweet potato veggie concoction. It tasted a lot like chicken breast. We confirmed it with her, but I guess that's how boar tastes. Not flavourful except for the outside. (I don't like chicken's breasts...)
My bison rib eye was delicious. Cooked medium rare, thinly, with the burnt edges that I like. It was gamey and flavourful and came with fries and a dip made out of bone marrow and something else. Delicious.
For dessert, they had creme brulee (vanilla, darjeeling, and absinthe). Absinthe!? I had to get it. It tasted like a regular creme brulee, but with a definite kick. I was also mighty happy after this. AT got the Clafouti, and he loved it. It was a basically a custard baked pie.
The service was great, and after about 2 hours, they gracefully kicked us out by giving us the bill. And everyone got homemade chocolate truffles to take home. Yum.
Would come back especially for a special occasion. It's dim in here, and super romantic (not sure why romantic = dim)
