mangia: ues Cafe Boulud

It was a special night, despite the cold frozen snow on the ground and the wintry chill that blows into the bones, we had 8pm reservations, but due to light traffic, and timing we arrived a half an hour earlier.

We grabbed drinks at the bar, the maitre d had greeted us coldly, and didn't even warm up as the evening progressed.

The drink staff, and wait staff differed from the maitre d. We were treated kindly and the whole meal of oysters, beet salad mixed with goat cheese, veal shank, and chicken with truffles was sumptuous. Everything was wonderful! For dessert we shared a mango churro!

It was a great evening, and I would return but could do without the attitude.
