"My husband and I opted for the four-course prix fixe menu at $135 per person, which turned out to be a great deal and surprisingly well-priced. After enjoying some of the bread, I felt much better. The brioche was presented in a cube shape; while it could have been softer and more buttery inside, it was still enjoyable. For our first courses, we both had the salad. Each chicory leaf was carefully arranged, with slices of celery root and citrus layered in between, creating a perfect bite along with the soft, creamy cheese at the bottom. For the second course, my husband chose the langoustine (an additional $10) while I had the pike dish. The pike quenelles were like delicate fish cakes served with a rich, savory sauce that was divine. The langoustine was also excellent—I highly recommend both. For our third courses, I had the risotto and my husband had veal sweetbreads. The risotto was not traditional risotto but rather potatoes shaped to resemble it. The flavors were good, and the generous serving of caviar added to the dish, but it would have been better if it had been the real thing. My husband’s veal sweetbreads were incredibly tender and flavorful. For our final courses, my husband had quail and I had venison, which was cooked perfectly to medium rare. We both enjoyed our choices immensely. Even though we were quite full, we managed to save room for dessert—a millefeuille topped with cotton candy, which was a fun twist on a classic dessert. Before we left, our server brought us complimentary chocolate truffles. Presented under a cloche, these truffles were shaped like black truffles but filled with raspberry ganache. I have to say, I was thoroughly impressed by Lacroix. The food execution is world-class, the menu is well thought out, and the prices are comparable to other local favorites like Friday Saturday Sunday and Her Place Supper Club. Dining at Lacroix feels like eating at a genuine 2-star Michelin restaurant. We will happily return again and again."

"our dining room experience was exceptional. we had a wonderful waiter. eating was excellent and the ambiente was perfect. our meal for the three of us with the tipp was just over $500. my only complaining is that I am there about 20 minutes early and after check-in with the host I asked if I could go into the bar and get a drink and she said yes. I went into the bar, there were two empty places. I sat on one of the stools and ordered a drink. the bartender was very friendly and nice. Before my drink was delivered, another host came up and asked me if I had set myself and had reservations for the bar? I was surprised because I never heard of this. She told me I had to go. I was insulted and uncomfortable. I asked her what I should do with the drink I had just paid for, and she said I could sit in a small chair in the corner next to the bar or I could wait in the lobby. first I sat in the small stool in the corner and felt very uncomfortable and awkward, especially when I saw others sitting in the load that I had just occupied while loading right next. it remained empty for the better part of 10 minutes. I finally moved into the lobby area with my drink and waited for my guests. Bar seats should come first served and they should never leave a dame after they order a drink and pay for it. I mean, I checked at the Hostess booth and was told I could go into the bar and get a drink. I should've asked if I could have a bar stool to go with my drink."
