Summerlicious 2010 Menu
Despite the very mixed reviews, hubby and I decided to go to Le Trou Normand for lunch during Summerlicious. I had been wanting to check out this place on my own for a while now and I was prepared for a meal that was either "unpleasant" as Philip Q. said or "pretty special" like Howard H raved. Sadly I cannot be a tie breaker as I found myself thinking both gentlemen were right in their own way.
Let's start with the positive... I enjoyed the choices on the Summerlicious menu. After reading about the Sea Bass in reality being Tilapia, we decided to ask about it. Today the Sea Bass was Sea Bass and my hubby by day fisherman by night husband confirmed upon arrival that it was indeed Sea Bass. I ordered the roasted chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now with the not so good part... I am thinking they were short staffed because our wait time between our salad and main course was over 40 minutes! The restaurant was fairly empty and the waiters were running around like chickens with their head cut off.
The waiters were not attentive at all, no one came by to see if we liked everything (even though we did) and when our Perrier ran out no one offered us anything more to drink. The dessert was probably my least favourite part. I ordered the Apple pie and found it pretty bland.
Considering how expensive this place is on a regular day and how many other places in the city I'd like to try, I probably won't be returning to Le Trou Normand anytime soon.
