L'academie

Its ok. Was dissapointed when suggested 'Baby Back Ribs ' turned out to be 'Boeuf Braisé ' and VERY fatty. I don 't usually mind fatty meats, but this was too much.<br/ <br/ Other than that time, most other experiences here were positive. You get your money 's worth.

My experience exceeded my expectations, though the atmosphere was quite noisy and chaotic, reminiscent of a scene from Hell's Kitchen. The restaurant has an open and airy design, filled with beautiful sunlight. The service was what you might expect from stressed-out apprentices. Unfortunately, my bavette looked as if it had been flattened by an Abrams tank; it seemed like they used a mechanical tenderizer on it. While it ended up being tender, it was not very appealing in appearance. The seafood pasta was decent, with the shrimp and scallops being cooked just right—not overdone. However, the prices felt quite high for what we received. I did try two desserts made in-house: the praline ice cream and the crème caramel, both of which were excellent. Overall, it was a fun novelty experience, but I’m not sure I would rush back.

A reliable bring-your-own-wine spot. The food is decent, the decor is minimalist and stylish, and the service is typically very good.

It was just average. Nothing remarkable, except for the décor. However, the dessert cart offered some delicious options.
