S'been quite a while since we were last at Saveur. Prices here are on par with some of the French bistros these days but we've noticed they've also upped their game somewhat.
Pain. Not pain. 😏 Hot and fresh tasting.
Decent foie gras terrine and grapes with enough acid to cut through the richness. Brioche needs more butter methinks - it's okay and not memorable.
Pretty impressed by their sizeable pan seared ris de veau. Sweetbread. Tender and succulent with a bit of creaminess. On top of that, morel mushrooms! Granted those weren't huge or plump or both, but I take what I can get. Just so that no wrong ideas were gotten, they were delicious by the way.
They also have a pretty delicious steak au poivre. We got a textbook medium rare today. 😬 Woohoo! Decent cognac and peppercorn sauce. Wouldn't say that the sauce was memorable but we were happy with the steak and the sautéed green beans as a whole.
Date pudding was so so. Wasn't a bad dessert. Just wished it was much warmer like how they do at PS. Cafe. I'll leave this as something I wouldn't get it again.
