The Grand Cafe


That's right, kids. Free din din at this place for "the juice".


Hmm, I guess I can say that it definitely lives up to its name. The place was very "grand" with 2-story ceilings and massive columns. My boss and I have this habit of ordering the most decadent thing on the menu (since WE'RE not footin' the bill) and so of course we ordered bacon-wrapped scallops for our appetizer. For the main course I got the "Grand Cassoulet" with crispy duck confit, garlic sausage, braised lamb, and garlic crusted marrow beans...I went to cut a piece of the lamb and it just fell off the bone. Also got a side of truffle french fries...soooo GOOD! It totally brought me back to Italy.

For dessert I just got a glass of moscato and had a piece of other people's dessert. Tried the flourless chocolate cake which was actually really tasty--would not have known it did not contain flour...I also tried the banana cream pie, which was far superior in my opinion. (The muscat goes well with both.)

I was buzzed all the way home. I likey Grand Cafe...try it if you got extra money or if you know someone who does (then take me with you).
