High expectations meet reality.\n\nAnd please someone change that $$ to $$$.\n\nService was so-so, with weak recommendations from the waitress.  Here's what we ordered:\n\n- Escargots de Bourgogne (oven-roasted snails, garlic-herb butter) - pretty good\n\n- Housemade Country Pate (cornichons, whole grain mustard, warm country bread) - a LOT of pate, too little bread, I liked this dish, but talk about disparity b/t the two.\n\n- Chicken Liver Mousse (burgundy red wine mustard, toasted brioche) - same as above, with respect to mousse to bread ratio - too much mousse, too little bread.  I was looking forward to this dish, but that burgundy red wine mustard is just nasty and overpowering), pass!\n\n- Sea Scallops Gratinees (caramelized fennel & onion marmalade, mussel cream) - thin scallops that were tasty, but surrounded by too much cheese.  Should have gone with the entree version instead, sigh...\n\n- Rack of Lamb Special - overpowering mustard sauce on the lamb that was just unpleasant.  The lamb was tender and the au jus was tasty.  Excise the sauce and it is  tasty, but $36 worth of tasty?  No.\n\n- Creme Brulee - this was the best dish of the night, nice and creamy with the right thickness to the sugary top.
