Fine Dining, Good Price, Excellent Service
Nice decor, plenty to choose from on the menu. Everything was well presented, and the portion sizes were substantial for this type of restaurant. I did not get a good look at the wine list, but judging by the displays the choices were ample.
Dishes I tried:
Oysters on a half shell
Excellent. The sauce was subtle but enough to know it was there. The oysters tasted fresh. Highly recommended
Rib Eye (12 oz)
Well prepared, great cut. Surprised at the price (well worth it). Three types of “sauce” served with it. Garlic and Onion / Black Truffel butter / Red wine reduction. I had the Black Truffle butter (very subtle taste).
Fois Gras
I added this to my steak. The inside was silky smooth, and the outside crisp. While I am not big on Fois Gras, it was well prepared.
Calamari
Crisp on the outside, and not rubbery. Well prepared with a tasty orange sauce.
Mussles
Great dish. Well prepared in a great “boullabaise” style sauce. Enough mussles to choke a horse. Highly recommended.
