Troquet Restaurant & Bar Review

Troquet

My Opinions: I went for a cheese plate desert here tonight and sat at the downstairs bar. It was great fun, and their newest bartender was friendly and accommodating. Though this bar is small, it offers great people-watching since it's by the front window.

If you like cheese plates, this is one of my first suggestions. They do an impressive job hosting a wide variety to choose from, and I've found that they know how to store it well, so the Formaggio Kitchen-procured cheeses doesn't loose their quality and texture.  Some places either over-chill the cheese or they dry out. [Other restaurants in the area that offer great cheese plates are Marliave and Menton.]

     Try:  Black Sea Bass - Short Rib Canneloni - Cheese Plate

     Skip:  Pig

Some Food/Drink Tasted:  Cheese Plate - Black Sea Bass - Marinated Beet Salad – Ricotta Cavatelli – Crispy Duck Confit – Short Rib Canneloni – Roasted Suckling Pig – Veal – Hazelnut Mille - Sticky Toffee - Pistachio Souffle

My Opinions: I got a chance to sit at the front downstairs bar for a while, and it offered some great people-watching ... the really friendly bartender helped make the stay enjoyable as well - When I went upstairs for dinner, I was thrilled to get the table I sat in last year, (the window seat shown in this blog's photo) - The food was as I remembered, delicious but a bit too salt-heavy - The server and atmosphere was great!

My Opinions: I started coming here for the cheese and discovered this restaurant had a lot more to offer!  They have a lovely cheese cart that they bring to you and cut your portions as you select them - Their wine list is fantastic, and they offer tasting portions so you can try more than you usually would be able to (drink responsibly) - The newer small bar by the front is nice, and best in the summer season - When I finally ventured upstairs one evening, I found a flavorful menu of meats and fish - the seating is spread out, so you don't feel like you're sitting with the table next to you - in this photo, I've actually sat at the boot by the window
