___________________________________
We were here for our 3 year anniversary, which we forgot to mention when we made reservations.
To be able to taste a wider variety of dishes, my husband and I usually have a habit of ordering different dishes for each course and swapping plates. A few dishes that we both had trouble swapping include: foie gras brulee, dayboat scallops, beef belly.
