One of the appetizers that we ordered is the crudo of yellowfin tuna with blood orange. There is not much taste to the tuna, but luckily the blood orange adds a nice sweet touch. The second appetizer that we ordered is the pan seared foie gras with puff pastry and roasted peaches. This is the best dish of the night. The foie gras has a melt-in-your-mouth creaminess to it and was pan seared to perfection. The puff pastry was very light and crispy. The roasted peaches add a sweet taste to the dish so that it is not too heavy.
The main dish that I ordered is a Neapolitan style flat bread pizza with lobster meat. It is a very nice surprise for the night. The pizza is light and not greasy at all. The cheese is infused inside of the flat bread. The lobster meat is served with a light lobster broth on the pizza. It feels high class to have lobster as an ingredient on pizza.
The main dish that my husband ordered is the Colorado rack of lamb, cooked medium rare. The serving contains two ribs of lamb. The lamb meat is quite moist. However, for the price of almost $40, it is way too pricy. We did not like the sauce that is served with the rack of lamb at all. The sauce tasted like some kind of meat sauce, like the ones served with pasta. This dish would be much tastier if it is served with red wine sauce instead.
Our dessert had to be pre-ordered because it requires 35 minutes of cook time. We ordered the hot chocolate soufflé with vanilla bean gelato. We had high expectations for the dessert because it is baked to order. When the dessert arrived at our table, it looked really good. However, the moment that we put our forks into it, we found out that it is not a soufflé! It is actually more like a hot piece of brownie with ice-cream on top. What a disappointment. The proper method of making a soufflé is to use egg white and beat it continuously to make it soft and fluffy.
