My husband and my brother and sister-in-law went here to celebrate our anniversary. I loved the foie gras appetizer with strawberries. The carmelized dayboat scallops were very good but didn’t have me jumping out of my seat.
At our table we ordered the butter poached lobster, the Moroccan spiced goat, the honey lacquered duck breast with foie gras, and the pork tenderloin and crispy pork belly. The butter poached lobster was my entree and I liked it a lot. The lobster was tender, the butter sauce very decadent, and it was served with pillowy gnocchi. I had a taste of my husbands spiced goat. It tasted a little like lamb to me. I’m not a big fan of lamb but my husband enjoyed it. I wasn’t impressed with the crispy pork belly and pork tenderlon. It was a little too fatty for me. The duck with foie gras was out of this world. The foie gras really enhanced the taste of the meat.
We also had the beignets with chocolate sauce and creme anglaise. They were perfect. At the suggestion of the waitress I broke them in half and put sauce in each half. The strawberry shortcake was good but I probably would just order the beignets next time.
So the price is a little steep. We spent over $400 for 4 people. But I would definitely recommend this restaurant. You can’t go wrong with the foie gras, the duck with foie gras, the butter poached lobster, or the beignets.
