What a lovely evening from start to finish.
I most highly recommend the lamb, which is wrapped in lamb sausage that's even better than the lamb itself. High marks also for foie gras, which comes served on a brioche that somehow managed to be the star of the dish, even when competing with something as delicious as foie gras. Bryan had the beef carpaccio, which was very delicately flavored. He gave rave reviews to....a fish dish that I don't recall because I don't eat fish and don't know skate from piranha.
Dessert was pretty awesome, featuring the chef freezing the top of the chocolate mousse with liquid nitrogen. I almost wrote something about the portion being huge, but if I'm in a place where I'm complaining about too much chocolate mousse, life is good.
The wine list contains a nice range of prices, which is a bonus because the food is verrrrry pricey. The portion sizes lend themselves to eating both an appetizer and entree, which can quickly become an expensive proposition. So while I had an amazing experience here, it is more of a special occasion restaurant for us.
Also, a shout out to the amazing staff and particularly manager Danielle, who recognized me from a restaurant where she used to work and treated us like royalty for the rest of the night.
