Bump!

Hoping that SOMEONE here will have eaten at least ONE of these dishes and can let me know what they thought!

I don't have any. The only place on your list that we ate at was Wolfgang's but we ate different dishes. You can usually count on us for food porn, though. We photograph just about everything we eat . . . even at home. Can't wait to see if anyone has some porn to share.

I don't have a pic right now, but we were there last week and I had the Roasted Pork Loin at Rose & Crown. It was good, not great, but I'm not a huge pork fan, it might be better if you were (I am a huge fan of mustard, which is why I ordered it). We LOVED Rose & Crown, though! The cheese plate appetizer was great, and we liked the Bangers and Mash, too.

Edited to add that DH got the Gnocchi con Tartufo at Wolfgang Puck Cafe. It was wonderful! He loved it! I wasn't a huge fan of the truffle flavor, it was very different, but if it had been mine I bet I would have liked it more as I ate. He said it was awesome! We also had the Tuna Tartare, which was to die for!

Edited again to add that I do have pics, but they're not currently accessible. I'll try to get them on soon.

Woohoo! Can't wait to see those pics!

I don't have a pic, but ate this last week...

Noix de Saint Jacques et gambas sautees Flan d'epinards, sauce a l'oseille - Sauteed scallops and black tiger shrimp served with spinach flan and sorrel sauce. - $27.95

The shrimp and scallops were SOOOOOOOOO good! and the white sauce they were in was extra yummy. The flan was just OK, but I would reorder this dish again next time.

 

[butterfly8]

Good to know because I THINK that's what I'm ordering!

 

[butterfly8]

Just hangin out here waiting for some porn to come my way!

Woohoo! Bring it on!

We tried the maytag chips at Wolfgang Puck's on our last trip.... YUMMMMMMMMMM! Very rich and filling, but somehow we managed to clean the plate!

Never, NEVER ask a third gtade teacher for more adjectives...
yummity, delicious, tasty, crunchy chips bathed in warm, creamy cheese sauce. In other words, it was good to the last crunch!
