    Back in March, my coworkers and I had heard enough good things about Lardo that we wanted to see…read morewhat the hype was about for ourselves. We knew immediately we weren't the only ones with that idea. The place was busy, with a line of people putting their names down for a table. It definitely has that destination-restaurant energy. Once we were seated, we ordered several things to share. We tried a mix of fried bites, including croquetas, shrimp, and stuffed squash blossoms. The croquetas were crisp and rich, and the squash blossoms were one of the more interesting things on the table. We also ordered pizza. The crust had a nice char and chew, and the toppings were generous. I enjoyed it, although a couple of my coworkers were a little less enthusiastic. For me, the smaller plates stood out more. The room was lively, and the mix of vintage plates, copper-toned tables, and simple details gave the space a lot of personality. I also liked how naturally the menu lent itself to passing plates around and trying a little of everything. I'm glad we checked it out, especially because Lardo comes up often when people talk about eating in Mexico City. I'd happily come back and explore more of the smaller plates.

    GREAT POWER LUNCH - When you walk into Les Moustaches, you are greeted by several plaques…read moredemonstrating their quality, as well as an elegant open dining area and a compact but well equipped bar. I'm not a fanboy of French food as I think it can be a bit heavy at times, but boy oh boy was this place great! The salmon was perfectly cooked( with a slightly raw interior, served on some of the best roasted vegetables you can imagine. Around it was a delicious sesame ribbon breadstick, absolutely amazing. They also gave us some complementary rose and a shot of lentil consomme, all excellent. The prices were elevated a bit, most diners arrived in jackets, so it if definitely a higher end joint, but it is probably one of the few French themed places I will seek out again. And if you like French fare in the slightest, or even if you are slightly against it, it is definitely worth a try. Oh and since it's a French place I should also mention the bread was served as petite almost crossaint shaped rolls with the balance of a crispy, toasted crust and a perfectly leavened yet glutinous and porous pliable interior. It was so good we saved it for dessert and it was a fantastic finish. Happy eating from John Seeto!

    laughably bad food in the stuffiest place imaginable. go here for stale bread, bad music, and dry…read morefish. we ordered the cheese plate, duck, salmon, and a white fish. for dessert we got the chocolate mousse which tasted suspiciously like a pudding mix. the cheeses were good but came with an artificial, bright red jelly that was indistinguishable to any fruit or flower -- just chemicals. it was a very stuffy, fancy-style place in a way that was cheugy and over-the-top: greco-style columns, dramatic serving of dishes in silver platters, freezer-burned sorbet to cleanse the pallet. EAR-MAIMING MUSIC. pianist playing elevator music with constant blunders -- one of the people in my party, a pianist herself, was going insane. lol. service good, slow. pros: the waiter Oscar was highly professional and kind. the best thing i tasted was the Sancerre. good wine list cons: the bad food, ambience, bad music, .....bad food....
