My friend and I had visited last year but on a Sunday night they were open to hotel guest only. So…read morenow that I'm back in the area we returned recently on a Friday night. They weren't too busy. The service was exceptional, well trained staff and multiple staff people waiting on our table.
My companion had a set menu: starter, 2 main courses and dessert with wine pairings. I don't like eating so much at the typical French dinner time of 8 or 830pm. So I had one main dish and dessert.
They brought us amuse bouche with our pre-dinner drinks, upstairs. And then once we took the gold elevator to the ground level there was another light dish before the meal.
I had the veal with short rib, with artichokes and a lovely melange of fall vegetables. The veal and short rib were tender and bursting w flavor. My companion had both the lobster and sweetbread dishes. He commented that the sweetbread was excellent.
Again we were presented with a pre dessert, a lovely glass piece with tiny bites of various pateries. Delightful.
My dessert choice was far superior - napoleon. They cut it into 2 slices and I could only eat the first half. The creme was rich and light at the same time. The pastry also light layers, but still held the dish together.
