Would I go again? Honey, will you take me?
Ambiance: Sparkly things come in small boxes and they are opened at the linen'd tables of the hushed La Folie.
Crowd: Gooey-eyed couples, couples that used to be gooey-eyed and broke but can now afford to eat here, and visiting food review readers (La Folie is a favorite and always scores highly).
Best: The food is outstanding at La Folie and the service charming without being icky. You'd be challenging yourself and annoying your dining pals to find a lousy dish. Kick off the meal with the day's foie gras appetizer and enjoy every plump, satiny non PC bite. Pigs feet and sweetbreads terrine for starters gently ready the tummy for the many other dishes ahead. Meats and fishies are popular on the menu but every evening there is also a vegetarian set menu. Desserts are knock-out and a little unexpected such as the Warm Edam Cheese Souffle with Fromage Blanc Sorbet, Crispy Bacon and White Sesame Tuile. Do we even know what Fromage Blanc is in America?
Worst: A bit too much When in Doubt Dribble Truffle Oil on Top.
