This latest discussion made me remember I didn’t report our last visit. To give an idea of the time lapse, this one was late night on the day France won the World Cup (hence the banners). We couldn’t have picked a better date. Everyone was joyous and celebratory. Lots of jerseys. Service was upbeat and the eclectic music selections were like the DJ version of omakase - Classics (Edith Piaf), American R&B, Hip-Hop, Anthems, New Age, World, Electronic, you name it, but all sung in French, performed by French artists. Really cool.
They didn’t. My mistake. I realized it during this visit… it’s an Old Fashioned made with Hudson Manhattan Rye Whiskey. ![]()
Copy from my last report. I
this Bread!
Endive, Walnut, Avocado, Anchovy, Ubriaco Cheese
Nice combinations of sharp, salty, creamy, nutty, sweet and crunchy texture. Good job on this one.
I can now say I’ve had Lobster Thermidor @foodshutterbug
Steak Frites w/Cognac Pepper Sauce
The sauce was good, but I didn’t think the beef had particularly good flavor or texture.
Paris-Brest
I wish I had gotten the Napoleon.
Chocolate Mousse
To me, they went too far trying to make it less sweet and more dark chocolate-y, and whipped cream didn’t makeup for the bitter, chalkiness. Don’t laugh, but I like the cold, housemade, Chocolate Mousse at La Paella much more.
Apologies for grainy photos, PT’s evening lighting is not conducive to photo taking.
I
PT, but did see for the first time why some don’t like it. They have a few excellent dishes, but also a few lackluster offerings with definite execution problems.
It was around $150+tax. We paid the 18% Service Charge and gave the waiter $10 cash directly.
Happy Eating & Service Fee Paying!
