The quality of the ingredients is high; however, it's expensive even by "tourist town" standards. My main issue is the way some dishes were plated. I had the trout almondine. The trout was served on top of the sides, which includes potatoes au gratin. Unfortunately,...stacking them this way led to the trout's over-abundant butter lemon sauce soaking the potatoes. Everything on the plate became a mush of butter-lemon flavored food. Also, the trout skin was so soaked in the sauce that it was soft, fishy tasting and inedible. (Good fish should not taste "fishy.") Maybe this is by design and the skin isn't meant to be eaten. I confess I may be ignorant in this regard. The same problem occurred with the chocolate lava cake dessert. The warm cake was topped with vanilla ice cream which was half-melted by the time it reached our table. It ran together with whatever chocolate "lava" may have been inside the cake, so I couldn't even find the lava. Simply moving these sides to the side of the plate when plating would solve these problems and make for a much more enjoyable meal. My dinner companion had the penne pesto. It was average. The pesto was not thick enough to cling to the pasta so a good deal of effort had to be made to get pesto flavor in each bite. It was more like oil with some basil in it. Service was excellent.More
