Huaahhh It's been a while since my last post just want to wish everyone a Happy new year!

Another food review, i've been blessed to be able to try this restaurant again with ci jenny :) so here we go:
Advice: the 3 meal course was very pricey, however if you came before 6 you can get a pre-theatre menu for like almost half the price, of course a smaller portion than the regular but it's definitely fulfilling esp. if you're a girl :)
Tips: If you park at the hotel, you can get validation. We parked at Union square parking and truly it's the worst time to go there, it was packed because people are doing Christmas shopping then :(

On the table
the famous gold plate is actually a candle holder:

Not long after we ordered, bread and butter was served. I'm not usually willing to eat the bread before the meal because i just feel bad if i'm too full before the "good stuff" but i actually ate it all :p

Amuse Bouche: i had the foie gras. Now now, i don't normally get this, but last time in gary danko, i left with such a good impression so i thought i give it a try. I cut a small spoonful and put it my mouth, and i thought uh oh i can taste it... taste that this is a liver :( but silly me, i didn't notice that they provide toasted bread to eat with it (like a jam) and it was delish after! :D

Next: I ordered the famous lobster pot pie

and voila:

This was very good. The lobster was fat :D and everything was so tasty including the veggies... can you imagine? even the carrot taste better :p btw, ci jenny ordered the beef and it was equally tasty! yummm...
for the dessert:

It's MM signature root beer float. Okay i know what you're thinking but this oldies combination taste the bomb! hahah :D i love it! it came with 2 cookies (choc chip and cookie brownie) and when you break the cookies the choc inside melts. It's heavenly fatty :( hahahah :D goodness!

Overall:
It's good, however i don't think it's better than gary danko. Gary danko still has my heart :p
