We have been going to the Pamplemousse for years. We had a Groupon. Funny, we ordered exactly what was on the menu, no wine and it cost the same. $132.00. WTF? The waiter seemed like he was on crack. He was loud and obtuse. He did nothing but talk about himself, BOA and HIMSELF! He was so annoying, that it ruined the ambiance of this once endeared place. The food was okay. Why the chef couldn't make Bearnaise sauce is beyond me. They said I needed to give them a warning. What chef doesn't have the basic ingredients to make this simple yet elegant sauce? Here try this recipe next time..For bernaise sauce: 1/4 c white wine vinegar, 1/4 c dry white wine, 1 T minced shallots, 1 T dried tarragon, salt and pepper, MORE?
Back to the Marrakesh for us.
Sad..Just sad. I wish Pierre was there. He had been working at the Pamplemousse for 20 plus years. If he is the owner, fire the waiter trying to do a comedy act with his fake laugh as entertainment and put the crack pipe down.
