Hôtel Rive Gauche Restaurant Le Coureur Des Bois

Inferior

Happy to be able to tell the truth! Last year had an excellent meal which I related to many friends. Again, a year later, I expected an outstanding meal. However, upon entering, was disoriented and told that the establishment had been renovated. The dining-room was transferred into a cold eatery with unsuitable music so loud, discussion was difficult. The menu was very confusing, and the impersonal servers hardly helped. "Romancing the menu" seemed alien to them. The salad in fact was very good. I then tasted a Lobster Bisque with duck liver (totally incongruous) which had a film on it (left standing too long) and tasted as if it had been overcooked - burned. Un edible and returned. The next dish - Walley with one shrimp was well plated. Nice colours! The fish and shrimp were under cooked. Although it looked good, there was nothing that brought the dish together, and the vegetables were "pre-al Dente. " The desert, was not chosen and served as "the standard dessert of the day!" It fact it tasted two/three days old. Another patron ordered pork which was also undercooked. I will not return, and definitely will NOT recommend this restaurant to friends. I love to eat, and relish "foodasms". Too bad. Thanks for your attention.
