There is nothing that can cheer you up more that a glass of champagne and a delicious steak, or salmon, or mussels in a wine sauce. You get the idea. The other day I was a little stressed out and basically feeling down in the dumps. My dad (who knows me very well) offered to take me out to dinner to make me feel better. We went to Le Buchon du Grove in Coconut Grove which happens to be one of my favorite places in Miami not just because the food is so good but because the atmosphere makes me happy. I love the French vibe of the place with all the cool decorations and flags. Also, the waiters are all so bubbly and French which adds an authentic feel. When I read that last line over it sounded funny..but you know what I mean. Our waiter this evening even showed us the sonogram of his baby on his iphone. It was really cute.
The meal was spectacular. I ordered the salmon tartare appetizer which was a combination of raw and smoked salmon surrounded by a lime flavored oil and a light cream sauce. For my entree I had the filet mignon in a pepercorn cream sauce with a portobello mushroom on top of it which came with a side of potatoes au gratin. Sinful but delicious. Our waiters also gave us a complimentary glass of champagne but then kept filling mine up which was very nice. It was just what I needed to lift my spirits. And to top it all off I had the BEST chocolate mousse I have ever had for desert. So..if you are ever feeling a little down, a good time is just a drive away at Le Buchon.
I think it is the best French Onion soup I have ever had . Good CALL . KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK .
