| - Boyfriend and I went there for his birthday dinner at La Societe and left completely satisfied in all areas of décor, atmosphere, food and service. The décor of this place reminded me of a fancy diner. The atmosphere was upbeat, pretty busy on a Tuesday night and patrons consisted of suits and more suits. My boyfriend had the sautéed escargot with oyster mushroom, 12oz new york strip loin, side fries, and toffee pudding for dessert. I had the prix-fixe and started with the mushroom soup, followed by the slow cooked flat-iron steak, side truffle mac and cheese and finished with a white chocolate crème brulee.
sautéed escargot with oyster mushroom - 4.5/5
12oz new york striploin - 5/5 "best steak in life" he quotes
fries - 3/5
toffee pudding with ice cream - 3/5 (nota bene's version can't be beat so far)
mushroom soup - 4.5/5
slow cooked flat-iron steak 3.5/5
truffle mac and cheese - 3.5/5 (first time having truffle, don't think I am a fan)
white chocolate crème brulee 4/5
The food was pretty delicious but the one thing I must rave about is the impeccable service. Christophe was our server and he was very knowledgeable, polite, attentive, patient, and everything else you can ask for in a pleasant dining experience. He was very patient as we took a while to decide what to order as we were not hungry at the time, bread basket was never empty, glasses were always filled, and regular check ups were appreciated. All in all, it is very rare that we try a new restaurant and everything is up to par but La Societe had met and exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to go back!
