Dinner at Fleur de Lys

As if we hadn't had enough rich food in the past week, we decided to check out Fleur de Lys with Ho and his girlfriend Mousse.

Overall, the food was not very impressive, and we gave it a 7.00. The only dish that elicited a response other than "eh" from us was the Fleurburger dessert, which was simply ingenious and adorable, though it honestly only tasted okay.


Amuse bouche


Roasted Maine Lobster


Seared Foie Gras


Roasted Sea Scallops, Hazelnut Crust


Swordfish


Duck


Peppered Filet Mignon with Braised Endives


Chocolate Souffle


FleurBurger: Lightly Spiced Dark Chocolate Ganache, Homemade Beignet, Banana-Flavored Milk Shake, Frozen Fennel Ice Cream "Pommes Frites"

The service was fine, and we gave it an 8.25. Our waiter was friendly and not snooty at all.

Décor was a tad over the top, but the tent setup in the main dining room was really kind of neat. We gave it an 8.50.

Overall, they scored a 74.00. That score is about what I expected, but I was still hoping they would pleasantly surprise me by being a little better. At least Chef Keller is really nice.
