That was fine with us. Less time to gamble is a good thing. What was really cool about that was not everyone in the party had to order the tasting menu. Although both of us did anyway. \n\nThis is what we had. I copied it from their website:\n\nL'AMUSE-BOUCHE\nl'avocat rafraichi d'une fine gel\u00E9e de pamplemousse \u00E0 la coriandre \nAvocado and cilantro flavored grapefruit gelee\nLES TOMATES \ndu jardin avec un filet d'huile de basilic et fleur de sel \nHeirloom tomato salad, basil oil and fleur de sel\nLA LANGOUSTINE \nen carpaccio avec une vinaigrette de citron et fleur de sel\nLangoustine carpaccio with lemon vinaigrette\nLE CRABE ROYAL\ndor\u00E9 \u00E0 la plancha, arlequin de l\u00E9gumes \u00E0 l'huile de citronnelle \nKing crab a la plancha, vegetables with lemongrass oil\nL'ASPERGE\nverte \u00E0 l'\u008Cuf de caille \" miroir \", shimeji et jambon Ib\u00E9rique\nGreen asparagus kebab with quail egg \"mirror\", shimeji and Iberico ham\nLE TURBOT \net jeunes poireaux dans une nage au lime et gingembre\nTurbot filet and baby leeks, buttery shellfish sauce with lime and ginger\nL'AGNEAU \nl'\u00E9paule confite avec une compot\u00E9e d'aubergine et pomme pur\u00E9e \nLamb shoulder confit with eggplant compote and with mashed potatoes\nOR\nLA CAILLE \nau foie gras, caram\u00E9lis\u00E9e avec une pomme pur\u00E9e \nFoie gras stuffed free-range quail with mashed potatoes\nLA FRAISE\nen infusion aux saveurs de balsamique, panna cotta \u00E0 la cr\u00E8me de mascarpone\nMascarpone panna cotta topped with fresh strawberries, balsamic ice cream\nLA M\u00DBRE\nen compot\u00E9e sur un biscuit aux \u00E9pices, sorbet \u00E0 la rhubarbe\nBlackberry compote with spice cake, rhubarb sorbet\nLE CAFE\nCoffee or Espresso\n\n2 courses were dessert. And they served us baguettes with butter imported from France. I enjoyed everything I ate, however, there was not a whole lot of food. It sounds like a lot, but each plate was a bite or two. And I'm not completely blown away by the food for $200 (after tip) per person. I judge places by price too. If I don't think the food was worth the price tag, the rating goes down a little. So if you are not that type of person, then add one more star to this review. \n\nI will say though, the details were meticulous and pretty amazing. We sat at the bar area in front of the open kitchen. They spent a lot of time making the food look good.I'm glad I tried it, but unlikely to go back."^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ .
