| - My husband and I came to experience Joel Robouchon for our birthday celebrations.
We made reservation for 8:30 pm on Monday night.
We were seated promptly by the hostess
I ordered from the $198 four course menu (which includes amuse bouche, 2 appetizers, one entree, one dessert, and sweets)
My husband ordered from the $169 two course menu (which includes amuse bouche, 1 appetizer, one entree, and sweets)
The service was good, but not impeccable
We declined the wine, and had bottle of sparkling water for $10
The bread cart came out first, variety of artisan breads, my husbands favorite was the bacon bread and I like the flaky white puff pastry. fine butter and olive oil was provided
They will bring more bread upon request at no additional charge
The amuse bouche was a beet puree, it was creamy with twist of citrus, very refreshing
The appetizers
My husband ordered imperial caviar on king crab in crustacean gelee at a $65 supplement, this dish was divine
the caviar was light, yet each bead was bursting with flavor...one can taste the essence of the ocean with each savory dollop. the king crab enhances the flavor of the caviar nicely
the crustacean gelee does not overpower
My first appetizer was the spiced lobster in Daikon cream
the lobster was chilled and very well prepared
The second appetizer was the foie gras salad with artichoke
the cold preparation of the foie gras is not our favorite but the richness of the foie gras was sublime
Entree
My husband ordered the farm chicken with foie gras and roasted chestnuts with black truffles at $40 supplement. My husband throughly enjoyed his dish. the chicken is perfectly cooked and the foie gras was seared to perfection and melted in the mouth.
I ordered the sea bass. I was a little disappointed by this dish. I feel the sea bass was a little over cooked and bit on the salty side.
Dessert
We shared the chocolate soufflé at $15 supplement
it came with dark chocolate ice cream (almost ganache like) and vanilla bean ice cream. sumptuous
the sweets cart came last
too many variety to count
we tried all the macaroons, including apple, hazelnut, pistachio; and loved all of them
of note, the available baklava, creme brûlée, and panna cotta was available to order from the kitchen
We each had the creme brûlée, this was delicious to the nth degree
take home message, save the money that you would otherwise gamble away at the casino to eat here
