Ok, believe some of the hype....APC is very, very good. But not everything was perfect.
I went here two weeks ago for the first time with a buddy of mine while on a motorcycle trip. The standout of the meal was the bison rib chop that he ordered. Truly amazing. My pork chop? Not so much....I make better myself at home.
For starters we had the APC "salad" (stupid me didn't realize this was simply a series of meats...very good....but too much given what was to come after). I believe they had a fried cod special app that we tried that was excellent and fairly light. We also had one of their foie gras dishes, simply prepared, and that was excellent too.
We killed two bottles of wine from the northern Rhone. The first white I ordered they were out of so we started with a white St. Joseph (either rousanne or marsanne, if you like those varietals...I do) then moved on to a red St. Joseph (mostly Syrah). These were both outstanding and you could spend a long time studying their wine list.
The staff was very attentive and it was packed on the Wed night we went with a small line out the door. We took a long, slow, half hour+ walk back to our hotel after this meal and that was the right call. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more items from the menu. Just don't you dare forget to order that rib chop! You can cut it with a fork...
Lastly, I think most of their prices are very reasonable. Some are outright screaming buys. So, good value overall for this type of place. Make sure to put your reservation in at least a month in advance.
Damn, we never did find out who that hot redhead was at the bar....
