My hats off to BRASS! My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at BRASS and what a wonderful experience we had! It was quite a busy night but the staff went out of their way to congratulate us and make us feel extra special. Later on the Chef came out to congratulate us too! The candlelight setting at dinner is quite romantic and spacious.We ordered a bottle of Champagne, a non vintage of a brand I don't really recognize but surprisingly good. I ordered the Foie Gras with Lentils : and my wife

The candlelight setting at dinner is quite romantic and spacious.
We ordered a bottle of Champagne, a non vintage of a brand I don't really recognize but surprisingly good.
I ordered the Foie Gras with Lentils :
and my wife has the herring tubes she saw in a local magazine. I had once had the opportunity to have foie gras with dessert wine and was so happy to be reccomended a Grand Cru dessert wine by the glass to go with my dish. OMG! AMAZING! Its really a prefect balance. My wife really liked the herring with the caviar.
We then went on to try the steak tatare which I tried in what was described to us as "seared" very interesting as it had a crust but inside was not semi cooked, it was still a steak tatare. As tatare's are concerned this was really really fresh and light and I didn't want to share. My wife had a pasta dish wish truffles, I am not a truffle fan but she is and when she put a forkful in her mouth all she said was hmmm and smiled.
For dessert we were recommended the floating island and out came this crazy amazing glass-looking tube of sugar with the pudding in the middle. It was like edible architecture. We tried taking loads of photos bu they didnt turn out right, I guess y camera cannot shoot the sugar in the dim light. Time to buy a new camera! The vanilla, packs a punch.
I later was told that its the former chef as the French Window. I was delightfully surprised. I had dined at the French Window quite a few times mainly on company meetings. Though the food was good, and looked good, I always thought that it was super pricey for what you got. In comparison, BRASS is a much more casual restaurant with great food, great service and great ambiance. Whats more is that the dishes are really really French and really satisfying visually and tastefully.
Our final bill was a bit over $700 per person including the champagne which I find really good value. GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY!
I hear good things about the lunch. I look forward to trying it soon.
