Dinner last night at Cafe Bizou in Pasadena, California.
The starter was a lobster and salmon ravioli and a lobster stuffed mushroom both in a lobster sauce. Nicely prepared. I could have easily had nine or ten of these. It was tasty enough to help me ignore the fact that they don't wipe the plates. But that's just me.
Then roasted lamb chops in a rosemary lamb sauce as an entrée. Done rare, just how I like it. The rosemary was not overpowering and the lamb just sort of melted in my mouth. I would order this again.
But the bad news was my wife's entrée. A Monkfish with saffron shrimp risotto and a white wine herb sauce. When I've had monkfish correctly prepared in the past I've usually found it to be sort of dense, sweet, and very similar to lobster tail meat in both flavor and texture. Not this time. There wasn't much flavor to it at all. And the fish meat seemed soggy. The only saving grace was the sweet potato curly fries. They were really good but hardly made up it.
For afters a mango and raspberry sorbet that was just right. So, overall a good dinner. I would return here if I was in the area but probably not worth going across town.
