Boy was I disappointed.\n\nThe bread starter was extremely soft and tasteless. Almost to the point of being mushy. Fine... it's just the bread. On to the appetizers:\nSteak tartare: It didn't taste bad, but then again it didn't taste period. It came out looking like an uncooked hamburger. I could taste the lettuce and the olives, but that's about it. I don't know how they managed this.\nChicpea fritters. These weren't bad, but were sort of a nondescript fried something-stick.\n\nThe main dish we ordered was the salmon. It had a \"fishy\" aroma and flavor, for lack of a better word. Perhaps an indicator of it not being as fresh as it could be.\n\nOverall, I was quite disappointed. Not necessarily because it was *bad*, but more because my expectations were much higher, based on my prior visits. This is definitely not the NACL of the past, and it's sad to say but I don't think I'm going to miss you much."^^ . . "2"^^ .
