On Friday, made plans very last minute to head out for dinner with a group of 6 friends.Could not find anywhere in Soho that could accomodate us last minute without a reservation, as most of the places were full. Stumbled across this really nice French Restaurant on lower Elgin Street which I must say pleasantly turned out to be a very good find. We walked in at about 10.15pm to a full restaurant and were greeted by a European gentleman and requested for a table and explained that we did not hav
We walked in at about 10.15pm to a full restaurant and were greeted by a European gentleman and requested for a table and explained that we did not have a reservation. He sat us at the cocktail lounge and said he will see what he can do for us and 15 mins later, we were shown to our table.
The reason I am writing this review is because of the service we received that evening. This gentleman turned out to be the Executive Chef of the Restaurant and he made special arrangements to keep the kitchen open late to accommodate our group. He personally took our orders and made recommendations of what we should have. We ordered quite a few things to share and they were all very good. To recommend a few that we really enjoyed, The Fresh Salmon Tartar was gorgeous with chunks of Salmon, The Foie Gras were delicious and the portion was very decent. The Seared Scallops on Creamy Leeks was something unique, it was presented in an Oyster Shell and was very tasty.
For the Mains, The Lobster & Crab Risotto is a must try for anyone, very comforting and super delicious.We wanted to order a steak & were recommended to try the Rib Eye on the bone (sharing for 2). It was cooked to perfection just how we asked for it... Medium but no Blood!
Finally we tried the Royal Sea Bream encrusted in Salt which was moist and absolutely wonderful.
For the Desserts, we had the Creme Brulee, Hot Chocolate Fondant & the Cheese Cake with Mix Red Berries. All were super good.
We ended up having a really Good Meal, Great Ambiance & "Excellent Service".
A "Pleasantly Good Find" in my books and I look forward to dining there soon again and this time will remember to take pictures!!
Thank You Entourage for a lovely evening!
