My best friend and I had a phenomenal meal at La Goulue this past weekend. Even though it was a chilly evening, we decided to sit outside - the heaters provided a cozy atmosphere and our nice bottle of red wine presented beautifully by the knowledgable waitstaff made us warm as well. We shared the creamy, sinful and luxorious lobster bisque and the calamari which was tender and garlicy. We also had a generous serving of the Chef's famous black truffle lobster risotto. The risotto was TO DIE FOR and left us wanting more and more and more....Our entrees were perfect in their simplicity and flavor. The chicken with truffled polenta was rustic and wholesome and the salmon with asparagus was flavorful and cooked to perfection. To end our meal we had the most lovely apple tart - thin and sweet, yet crispy and mellow with homemade vanilla ice cream. Overall our experience at this hip, fun, and beautiful french bistro was only number one of MANY visits to come. PS - Don't even think of passing up the handcut french fries - truely the best either of us have EVER had.
