The French Room...old elegance - Restaurant Week 2013

The Adolphus is like a step into the past in an elegant way.  We loved the ambiance and the decor thoughout the place.  You can't help but turn your heads to check out all the cool murals, chandlaliers, clocks, vases, and paintings around the place. 

We were greeted and seated promptly.  The atmosphere was quite enchanting.  Our servers were all very polite and gave us explanation of our three courses (not that we needed it) but it was nice to know they knew what they were talking about.

Our starters!
Crab Cake, the best we have had!  You can tell it was packed with big lumps of sweet crab meat and not fillers.  The tomato jam was a great compliment and very tasty.

The Pork Belly with risotto was drool worthy.  Had the rich asian touch with a creamy risotto pairing.  Very similar to what we had at Morimoto Napa, but he paired his pork belly with congee vs. risotto.

Then came our fish entrees.
We ordered the Red Snapper wrapped with zucchini and Salmon with Shiitaki. 
The Snapper had great caramelization on top and paired with silky mash potatoes.
The Salmon was cooked to perfection.  Rare on the inside and crispy on the outside.  The Shiitaki's were seasoned extremely well, we wished we had a whole bowl of it!

Our desserts were amazing! 
We ordered the Grand Mariner Souffle and Key Lime Creme Brulee.  Both were awesome!  The souffle was fluffy and velvety, extremely flavorful!  The key lime brulee was YUMMY!  The key lime flavor definitely stood out and help cut down the richness.  Sugar was crispy on top and lush on the bottom. 

Overall a delicious experience!  We cannot wait to come back and try their regular menu.  For $45 per person vs what they normally charge, definitely worth the try, especially during restaurant week!
