Appetizers
This escargot is the best I have ever had!
This escargot is made with chopped garlic and herbs de Provence. There is very little oil and it is topped with a goat cheese much like feta and mixed with fennel seed.
The aroma of this is much of the garlic but not overpowering.
The escargot it self is very tender and cooked so they are like butter with creamy and earthy notes that are very subtle.
The flavors of this are very much of the escargot and garlic with the fennel bring out the anise not throughout. The cheese brings all the salt you need in this dish.

Berry and Vanilla Custard Chocolate Tulip
This was the special dessert of a chocolate tulip filled with vanilla custard and fresh berries.
The chocolate was milk and quite thick for this type of shell.
The custard was thick and lacking in in flavor.
The berries were sweet and tart and when combined with the custard it did bring flavor to this.
