I'll have the baked field mushrooms, a house salad w/ roquefort (not on the menu) , and the pan fried salmon w/king prawns.

What's up with no desserts?

Those are some creative and appetizing sounding dishes.

Peace

Desserts will come later... got my work cut out teaching my staff how to prepare this lot.
Thanks for your comments.

ps I could make up a house salad with Gorgonzola ... would that do ?

Gorgonzola would be just fine.

By the way, what are your soups of the day?

Peace

Wow, it looks fantastic!

I'd visit if it was only in New York. As it is, it's a bit far for a dinner jaunt.

edit:

Let me just say I'd add terrine de foie gras. I think it should be on every menu in every restaurant.

I love foie gras - unfortunately it's not something my customers would like and it's too expensive.
Thanks for the comments and if your ever in Old York.....
