La Crepe Nanou - Review

Had dinner last night at La Crepe Nanou. I hadn't been there in at least 10 years. For some reason it had completely fallen off my radar...though I always enjoyed it way back when. I was celebrating a special occasion with my SO and decided to hit it up again.

Things started off a little rocky when we were seated in the back room, which felt like a furnace. Also the table was so wobbly that I knew a glass of wine wouldn't fare too well on it. For the life of me, I don't get why restaurants don't address unstable tables. We asked to move and were taken care of graciously.

Everything after, everything from the service to the food, to the atmosphere...was excellent.

We ordered a bottle of Veuve and were shocked to see that it was only $70. That is really cheap for a restaurant.

Appetizers:

Mussels - Delicious and flavorful broth and the mussels were cooked perfectly. A

Gratin Fruits de Mare - A delicious seafood au gratin. Perfect to dip your buttered bread in. A

Salad:

Mixed green salad with toasted walnuts and blue cheese. Was very good and big enough for us to split. B

Entrees:

Filet Mignon with Bearnaise sauce - This was definitely the winner of the night. I am always hesitant to order steak in a restaurant because they are always overcooked. I ordered it rare, and I got it rare. It was extremely flavorful and tender. It came with sauteed veggies that were also incredible. The fries were perfectly cooked and crispy. A++++++

Leg of Lamb - While the flavor of this dish was incredible, it was slightly overcooked. He ordered it medium rare and it was medium. I personally would've ordered it rare because I'm always fine with meat being under cooked, but I'm never fine with it being over cooked. But nonetheless, he enjoyed it immensely. B

Dessert:

Crepe Marrons - OMG this was insane delicious! Coffee ice cream, chestnut cream and rum flambe. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, so we shared this dessert. I made a note to myself...GET YOUR OWN NEXT TIME!!! It was that good. A++++

We didn't have anything to drink other than the bottle of champagne. Our total with tax and tip was $190.

Overall: A-

Although we can't credit LCN for this, we had a great time laughing at the pretentious preppy guy there with a group of friends....that had his sweater on inside out! Not kidding!
