I came here last month for lunch and was blown away by my meal. I've been keeping tabs on their Facebook page that show what the week's lunch set is going to be. And this particular week, I saw they had a blanquette de veau ($238). That is something I had in a tiny country town in France and and loved it so much. Pure comfort food from the countryside. Since the weather had gotten a bit cooler, I thought .... this is perfect.The lunch set ranges from $188 - 238, depending on the main. It include
The lunch set ranges from $188 - 238, depending on the main. It includes a soup or choice of anti-pasta buffet, choice of two desserts and coffee or tea. You can opt for a light lunch which only includes the anti-pasta buffet, soup and dessert for $168. The anti-pasta buffet table was actually quite decent. However, I'm not a big buffet person (yeah ... I'm kinda lazy walking up, getting my food and return to my table in a repeated process), so I chose the soup.
The place is very quiet during lunch hour. Just like last month, there was only two other tables filled. View is spectacular. Decor tasteful. Service was again attentative. So, attentative, that the waitress that served me last month remembered me and came over to serve me again. I've never had wait staff remember me (except for places I go with my relatives).
Bread basket came and just like last time, it was hot! And smelled fantastic! Like fresh baked bread. How is this possible? It was like this last time. No place I know has a bread basket that smells like fresh baked bread and is so hot, my fingers felt toasty afterwards. This time the bread was carrot. It tasted amazing. Fluffy and soft inside. Crispy and chewy outside.
My crab soup was a generous portion. Rich in crab flavor.
Swirling around, there were several large chunks of crab meat in my soup. Seriously, that's how big the chunks of crab meat was.
Blanquette de veau was served with celery root puree and morel mushrooms. There were serveral pieces of morel mushrooms. That's actually quite generous as morel is not considered a cheap mushroom. The celery root puree was smooth and creamy. The veal was soft and rich in flavor. There was wonderful waft of herbs. I finished every last drop. Mopping up the sauce with my bread in true French style!

They had some sort of promo to get a cute panda if you follow their instructions on how to do so. Isn't he the cutest thing ever?
