Price Range: $$$
Let's See...
I give it 1 star because I know the Chef...
And another star because he's from Philly... LOL
No seriously, in all honesty, I really do think this is a fabulous place... I've eaten here a few times now and all of the Meals have been Solid. For those that may be skeptical of my being unbiased due to the fact of the above, you need only read my reviews on Yelp to see that I am a bit of a tough critic when it comes to Food.
And being that I am from Philly, I'm all about keepin' it Real...
With that said, before I delve into the Details of the food, I really must give props to the Chef & Staff. As soon as I walked in the enormous red doors, I was immediately greeted by the Maitre D & Sommelier, Pascal Fosse. He is not only charming, but he was very accommodating and extremely knowledgeable when it came to the wines. Kudos Pascal and many thanks for a great dining experience!
And just as many have said before me, the decor is as said, intimate and cozy, especially in the evening for dinner, where one would say that it was rather romantic...
Moving onto the Food...
We started off with Soup & Appetizers - my companion had a Puree of Parsley Soup with a Sweet Garlic Flan, which we both thought was divine... I chose the Spiced Squab and Sonoma Foie Gras Mousse, which I thought was lovely. Next we shared the Crisp Veal Sweetbreads, which I thought were quite good as well. Admittedly, Sweetbreads were a first for me, so I am no expert by any means.
For my Entree, I had the Citrus Marinated Liberty Farm Duck Breast, which was well-prepared. This was accompanied by a Duck Confit Caillete Red Beet Jus which was really delicious...
For Dessert, I had the Creme Brulee which came with these heavenly Mango Raviolis, floating upon a Raspberry Foam...
Can you say 'Divine'?!!!
Talk about your Happy Ending, People, I certainly got mine that night...
All in all, I highly recommend this place, and not because I know the Chef, but because Chef Thomas Weibull has mad Skills, the Service is impeccable and to quote a fellow Yelper, the Restaurant is 'wonderfully intimate'...
A great spot in the FiDi that is great for Business Lunches and Romantic Dinners.
I say, Give Les Amis a try...
