Fresh warm bread is a must! (I always look to see if the restaurant serves hot bread)…the slightly salty butter was whipped to perfection! We devoured the first plate in an instant…They quickly handed us a second plate of hot hot bread (and butter!) NICE.
Lunch Set +$40 for a salad or soup and a daily dessert. (Light Green Salad) Pretty standard!
Y got the Leek and Potato Soup…Creamy, delicious perfection! It was buttery, sweet yet salty and everything a hot creamy soup should be!
Y’s main was the Ham & Cheese Penne Pasta, Parsley $148. The pasta was cheesy, hot and hearty! The cheese melted evenly into the penne pasta, it had generous amount of baked ham and was absolutely fragrant with the black pepper, shredded cheese and parsley. Only complaint its quite pricey for a ham and cheese penne pasta.
My uncle and aunt both went for the Traditional Veal Blanquette, Risotto w/ Saffron | $158 | I had a bite of the veal…and it was rather nicely cooked. Just a bit on the drier side. But once you slurp it up with the risotto!! Its pretty good.
I went with the Half Spring Chicken, Truffled Mash & Jus | $168 | The chicken was terrific! Everything about it. HIGHLY recommended. Soft, juicy tender meat. The delicate truffled buttery mash and the perfect amount of jus. So savory and memorable! My mouth is salivating ….
Mango Dessert! Nice, light and very refreshing…Felt satisfied without feeling full.The following day…I went again for brunch. This time. We ordered a la carte….For the 2 of us…came to about 1000…FOR LUNCH!! :/
Steak Tartar, Avocado, Pecan Nuts, Parmesan Cheese Foam | $228 | The steak tartar was pretty good, but somewhat on the tasteless side. For $228…I’ve definitely tasted better though! Nothing was too spectacular about it…But I did like the parmesan cheese foam!
Tomato Salad w/ Burratta, Cress | $118 | My burratta cheese salad was very small! It was beautifully presented, and the various tomatoes were fresh, plump and juicy. But overall, I would say this is a skip…I was hungry very quickly.
Roasted Lamb Saddle, White Beans Ragout, Sauce Regalice | $298 | This lamb saddle was delicious. Perfectly cooked and I loved the white beans ragout sauce- absolutely delicious and very easily slurp worthy!
