I went to check out the newly opened Mirror Restaurant today with anticipation as I read the chef was previously with Alain ducasse for over 10 years.The location is within minutes from times Square and the decor is tastefully designed with a parisien touch. The set menu started from $128 for 3 courses including coffee.The Amuse Bouche is scambled eggs with truffle sauce, it was cook just right and scambled the "french" way.

The Amuse Bouche is scambled eggs with truffle sauce, it was cook just right and scambled the "french" way. The seasonal salad include many exotic greens like fennel, artichoke, "chanderelle" mushroom and beets and is cooked lightly in white wine and vinegrette. It is tasty and refreshes the palate after the egg dish. The main is either scallop or Veal. I choosed the scallop with crayfish sauce as it is not so heavy. It is cooked just right and the inside is still slightly raw which helps to retain the flavour of the scallop.By the time I finished the main course I had no more room for dessert. I ended the meal with a coffee and it is not too bitter or acidic. The sugar and milk rack is very cute and shows the restaruant tries to do everything with a nice touch.
The set lunch is really a bargain for $128. Overall, the meal is very enjoyable and I can see that the chef is passionate in preparing each dishes. I will definitely go back again as menu changes every week.
