The purpose of restaurant week is to allow a restaurant to showcase their food during a time period where restaurant attendance is traditionally slow. I have been a fan of restaurant week and have enjoyed being a guest at many participating restaurants. This year I had the pleasure of eating at Icarus, Sandrine's, La La Rohk and Via Matta. However, to my disappointment, Sandrine's quality of food, service and ambiance fell below average in comparison to other participating restaurants. From Sandrine's prix fixe menu, I chose the soup and pork medallions. Surprisingly, the pork medallions was not the delicate dish that I expected, but rather a piece of chared pork on top of french fries. The meal was very bland, not at all fitting of a $$$$ restaurant. I will gladly return to the other restaurants, but would urge Sandrine's not to participate in restaurant week in the future.
