mes amis is a new french restaurant from lincoln carson opens 5/27 in hollywood right next to
thanks @rlw, review forthcoming?
bread service - house levain with bordier butter
channel island rock crab claws, sauce remoulade
perfectly cooked and shelled sweet crab
chicken liver mousse napoleon, puff pastry, cherry gastrique
the puff pastry tasted a little over done and was starting to taste bitter
prime creekstone steak tartare, egg yolk jam, crispy shallot, âeverythingâ lavash
this was fine, could have used some acid. pro tip save some butter for the lavash.
japanese mackerel, market baby vegetables escabĂšche, coriander
kind of like a fresh version of conservas.
duck pùté en croûte, black truffle, frisée, pickled rhubarb
didnât taste any truffle in this
little gem lettuce, buttermilk, radish, salted egg
couldnât taste any salted egg
savory vegetable galette, celery root, leeks, madeira sauce
not sure why this is called a galette, this seemed more like a pithivier. pretty good for being vegetarian, more sauce would have been nice. if lincoln ever decides to do a duck pithivier I would be all over it.
steak au poivre, potato millefeuille, prime shortrib, peppercorn jus
highlight of the night. potatoes were great and the short ribs were extremely tender with just the right amount of fat. but this needed way more sauce.
setting the table needs work
chocolate soufflé, valrhona chocolate, green chartreuse, génépy gelato
