After reading countless positive reviews I was totally pumped about going to La Grenouille. Fine dining probably my favorite treat and my excitement was palpable. La Grenouille, however, was a humongous disappointment. The Food was so-so. I didn't linger on your tongue and make you mull over the meal for a week (which is a must when you're spending $255). Furthermore, the portions were almost nonexistent. My foie gras was edible, but the filet mignon failed to melt in my mouth. Mediocrity was the name of the game. The service was dry and callous, and the ambiance was passable. In retrospect, La Grenouille comes off as a casual dining locale for the mega-rich. Nothing Special, and exorbitantly expensive. If money is not an object pop over for a nibble on a Wednesday, but Ultimately, I've had much better meals and better experiences for half the the price. I will continue to seek out fabulous meals, but La Grenouille is definitely off of that list.
