  • I've been anticipating the opening of this place, so tonight was like Christmas, except sans creepy Uncle's. Location is where Sophie's French Bistro once stood. I have many good food memories there, so I walked in with some slight trepidation. I brought along a GREAT FOODIE friend, as support. Thanks Meschelle!!! The decor is perfect. They've made some inspired changes, including French doors in the back (mirroring the front) which makes the place feel larger, more open and inviting. The service was wonderful. Very friendly, patient and informed staff. We dined at a table and had cocktails at the bar afterwards and received perfect, comfortable and personal service in both cases. Now, what follows is border-line food porn, so gird your loins. Ready? I skipped the cold and hot starters all together and dived right into two appetizers: Crispy Sweetbread Nuggets and Foie Gras Beignets. The former is my new favorite thing! Perfectly done! Perfect texture! The sauce coating seemed vaguely Asian influenced. The latter is nearly a dessert dish. Rich and wonderful. After much himming and hawing, I finally decided on the 5 Spice Duck for my entree. Man, did I choose well! Everything looked great on the plates of the few diners around me, but I had ZERO buyer's remorse when my plate arrived. It was beautiful. The seasoning on the duck seemed layered, just enhancing the natural flavors, yet adding a certain "I don't know what?" It was cooked perfectly per my order. I can't wait to eat it again. After, we'd decided to have a dessert: Tangelo Cold Soup. Tangelo sorbet, tangelo sauce, smattering of blueberries and kisses of blueberry meringue, artfully plated. Then, a pour-over of liquid nitrogen. With some places, this is mere show. In this case, it works! It's totally functional to the dish and couldn't be executed with the same aplomb without it. Cocktails afterwards were very well done. There are a lot of little things: ingredients unseen elsewhere, wonderful techniques (employing some molecular gastro-tech on a few house cocktails!), spherical ice. It rounded out an amazing evening of dining with a friend. Go there. Eat. Drink. Give them all your money. Seriously.
