Best meal in recent memory! This place is pricey but worth it - both quality and quantity are high, and the menu was diverse and full of fabulous French flair. Pictures = 1000 words so here they are:

Our amuse bouche: a delicious, creamy, flaky tart.


Next, Hubbs had the foie gras and scallop. It was ample, to say the least.


I had the bone marrow, since *nobody* serves it so I figured it was once-in-a-lifetime. I should've shared it with Hubbs since it was huge and very very rich, and there was no way I could finish it and still eat my entree.


Then came le Crocodile's signature fries (pommes frites). They were super skinny and short, like Hickory Sticks chips but even skinnier, and super crunchy. Delicious.


Hubbs had a large lobster as his entree. He finished it but I think he was stuffed by the time he was done. He tells me it was really really good.


I, of course, had the duck breast with foie gras. It was perfectly done and tender, and the foie gras was sizeable (though not as huge as Hubbs' appie piece), but the bone marrow had filled me up so much that I had to give half my meal away to Hubbs (which is why he was so stuffed)!.




Then we both got a lovely sorbet (pear with poire liqueur) to cleanse our palettes.



Next came dessert! Hubbs had a tiramisu in a chocolate cup. I don't think it was the best he's had but it was still really good (enough for him to eat all of it up in spite of his fullness).


I tried their dessert tart, which came with a lovely sentiment on the plate :) It was very tasty but I still prefer the apple pie at Joey's by a slight margin.

And, along with the bill, came two little house-made chocolate crocodiles. They were really good too but I was too full to eat even one, and so my dear Hubbs once again had to hoover down my portion. What a sweetie!


Basically, go to le Crocodile to celebrate major events. It will set you back a few hundred (especially with wine) but it's an experience that everyone must have at least a few times in one's lifetime. I was thoroughly impressed and we will definitely be back.
