ANyone went CHAUD -reviews?

[pugboy]

don't worry, the grass is always greener on the other side
google "emperor's new clothes"

*stands at side of the road in curepe and eats doubles in shame, dreaming of the days when i can afford to go to expensive restaurants*

[Notorious Scullman]

Dunno how "top class" restaurants could be charging less than places here, cos just last month at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas Entrees at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon started at $65, and Steaks at Craftsteak started around $75

Why should Trinidad be any different?

[TriniVdub]

^^^like i said go check the websites of the restaurants i posted, look at there menus and look at the quality of the places and you'll see what i'm talking about, the dining places in trini cannot compare. Also having personally been to all i pointed out i can vouch for the service, food and prices.

[ruff neck chicken]

[De Dragon]

yuh cud get d pepper


buh it eh hot

So Chaud have pepper but it eh chaud?

[pugboy]

it is difficult to compare apples with apples in restaurants for a variety of reasons
eg type of food, number of courses they serve and so on

the best you can do is go by zagat or michelin ratings

Thomas Keller's French Laundry which is a michelin 3 star place and requires reservation at least a year ahead
is $250 for a 13 item course

i went once - it was aiite.

valet parking was a nice touch... nothing was missin from my car lol

drinks were interesting

appetizer - one JUMBO shrimp thing if i remember correctly - it taste yukky!!

main course was duck - which wasnt horrible but didnt taste great either.

Service/decor/ ambiance was really nice.

after my below average meal i decided to skip dessert but they still brought us some complimentary chocolate truffles which was pretty nice of them.

maybe i caught them on a bad day or something but it was enough for me to not want to go there again - it wasnt worth the price to me.

5. yes, I did come here to post and boast

[zcarz]

thinking of going here tomorrow, is the quality still the same as when these reviews were posted? and can i have a decent meal (containing steak) now for around $450 or that won't be possible?

[zcarz]

thanks for the help guys lol.. went last night.. was really fantastic, great service, pretty good atmosphere and worth the money. had for starters, the grilled octopus:



then for main course.. 10 oz tenderloin with sides .. every single thing on the plate very delicious:



and chocolate.. everything for dessert:

[rollingstock]

^ That last pic looks like someone rest some wet dogsheit on your plate

Sorry do not want, will keep my poor ass in KFC

[pugboy]

I not to sure about going to pay that kind of money for a steak and some boiled veggies,
I would rather try something more featuresome of the chef

[zcarz]

hahaha RS that's what i thought when i saw it.. but it tastes far better than it looks. and yea pugboy maybe i should have tried something different but i didnt wanna be too adventurous and end up not liking it. just my opinion but i think it's worth it.. the octopus was 95, the steak was 300 and the dessert was 80.. not terrible.. i guess prime is more expensive

[rollingstock]

^ And yet you still put it in your mouth?

The caramel drizzle looks like a pre-epic diahhrea followed by the load

I admire your fortitude.

[zcarz]

yea well like i say when in doubt, eat it out

[Kiro_lee]
