🍽️ 🍸 Le Jardinier: A Big Letdown in New York French Cuisine (1)🙅‍♂️

I’m not usually picky about food and can make do with most meals, but this restaurant was the first to make me want to write a review just to complain about the taste. The bread and complimentary cheese croquettes were yummy, but then the nightmare began 😈. First Course: Beef Tartare 🍔 I’m totally fine with raw meat, but this dish had an overwhelmingly milky, gamey flavor. It was so strong that my friend and I joked it felt like we were chewing on a cow directly 🐮. It seemed like the seasoning was off. I’ve had beef tartare at many other places, and it never had such a strong taste. This was really off-putting. Second Course: Risotto 🍝 One word: SALTY. It was extremely salty, like stepping into a salt flat. One bite and I felt like I needed to drink a whole ocean. We ended up opening three bottles of Perrier just to keep up. The saltiness completely overshadowed any creaminess. #Restaurant #NewYorkRestaurant #NewYork #FrenchCuisine
