There are many good things about L'Express and I wanted to give it 5 stars but you really have to pick and choose what you order off the menu. Here's my thought process:
The bread basket was cold. Ugh
.
The Bone Marrow app was fantastic. I mean very fantastic. I mean very fantastical.
The Steak & Frites was excellent. Steak was perfect, too much frites for the day as we had poutine just earlier that day but still very good.
The Quail dish was also excellent. I've never had such juicy tender quail. Muah!
Shrimp Risotto was bleh. So bleh. It was cold. It was a cold glob a goo. What the hell happened here? I can't believe we didn't send that back. I'm still mad that we didn't send that back. It was so gross. I guess since I didn't order it I didn't want to embarrass the person who did order it but my goodness the shrimp risotto was so bad I wanted to puke. i wanted to puke and I wasn't even the person who ordered it.
Duck Confit Salad was soooo yummy. This was my dish. I'm not sure if there was even any dressing on the salad. All I tasted was duck fat all over everything. There were so many textures and flavors going on here that it made every bite an adventure. I was really impressed and this is a big statement since I never order salad for dinner. I am man.
Oh, and avoid the shrimp risotto.
