For delicious food, Michael is still knocking it out of the ballpark! (Just don't go there this month if you hate Christmas music. I don't know why any nice restaurant would want to make people feel like they're stuck in a shopping mall.)
Here's what we had this past Friday night:
Gougeres - Warm, Cheese Filled - I don't know why they are now shown on the menu as $1.75, but they were provided as a complimentary amuse bouche, as always.
Butter Fried Veal Sweetbreads and Sautéed Escargots - Over Creamy Pommes Purée, Crisp Red Onion Strings, Sauce Perigord
Salade Lyonnaise - Frisée, Bacon Lardons, Medium Poached Egg, Croutons, Mustard Vinaigrette
"Bouillabaisse Maxime" - This was a Friday night special which we had pre-reserved, thanks to being on his e-mail list. Quoting from the e-mail: "This is a dish that sounds familiar but is anything but a run of the mill fish soup. This Bouillabaisse is decadent in many ways and will ruin you for all others. In this lovely saffron and fennel laced broth you will find lurking, Florida Red Grouper, Lobster, Scallops, Littleneck Clams and the most savory crouton topping it off with a delicious, garlicky Rouille. Rouille is a garlic & Saffron Mayonnaise that is spread on the crust of baguette and toasted under the broiler to be dipped into the broth to both add a bit of thickening but more importantly, a burst of flavor that thrusts this dish over the top. I cannot say enough about this beauty."
Chocolate Dacquoise - Crème Anglaise
Warm Financier of Pear with Cinnamon GelatoThis was another GREAT dinner, in which all the dishes were extremely delicious. Bravo, Michael, bravo!
