After reading many wonderful reviews about Two Chefs, I couldn't wait to try out this restaurant. Unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. Service was exceptional and Two Chefs boasts a delightful wine list. My meal... not so much. \r

I started off with beef carpaccio. The meat was perfectly tender, but overseasoned with rosemary and truffle oil. Who would ever have thought too much truffle would be a bad thing? In this case, it was. A gorganzola croquette was placed smack in the center of the plate. It tasted terrible (bland and mushy) and added absolutely nothing to the carpaccio. \r

Now to the Coq au Vin. The chicken was cooked to perfection - juicy, succulent and falling off the bone - but the dish was LOADED with pancetta. So much so, it left a greasy finish on the palatte. The bacon flavor completely over powered everything else that would have been delicious. A good merlot helped cut through the grease, but it was disappointing none the less. \r
\r
Dessert was the highlight of my meal - an absolutely flawless chocolate souffle served with both chocolate ganache and vanilla cream sauce. \r

I wouldn't go back to Two Chefs for dinner, but I'd definitely go back for dessert!
