Several friends and I met up at Cyrus at 6:30 pm. We left 4 hours later, thoroughly impressed if not a little overstuffed. I had the 5-course prix fixe w/ wine pairings, and I couldn't have been happier: The coconut milk soup w/ lobster was fantastic, as was the terrine of foie gras. The duck confit was absolutely amazing -- the best I've ever had. I chose the pork loin w/ the black eyed peas as my main course, and it was excellent as well.
Desert, however, turned out to be a different story. I ordered the chocolate mousse, which was quite good, but which also came with two tiny leaves of candied sage. I bit down on what had to be the most foul tasting bit of garnish I have ever put in my mouth. I might as well have licked the sap off a pine tree! Nasty!
Pros: Food, Service, Wine
