Service was friendly, quick, and welcoming; ambiance was warm but a little darker for some tables than others. We came here to try their restaurant week menu and ordered the escargot, salmon risotto, cassoulet, crème brûlée and chocolate cup de creme. We also ordered the deviled eggs from their regular menu.
Escargot: 2/5, like other diners have noted, the flavor is on the blander side, which could be improved to your own liking with some salt. My wife's plate came with lots of sauce whereas mine barely had any, so there's also inconsistency in terms of its preparation which is unfortunate.
Deviled eggs: 1/5, overly mustardy which overpowered the entire dish, where there's no other flavor present; no sweetness, no savoriness, just the burn from the mustard.
Salmon Risotto: 2/5, the salmon at first arrived pretty raw in the inside, which is evident in the picture. They fixed it for us kindly, which we appreciated it. However, the risotto were also quite tough and not soft like it normally would be. Flavor was also on the blander side and we had to adjust it to our liking by just constantly adding salt.
Cassoulet: 3.75/5, not your typical cassoulet which is often served with breadcrumbs, and came with some beans, 3-4 pieces of sausage, and a duck leg with some pancetta bits. The duck leg was perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender. The rest of the dish felt small, like half the bowl it came in was empty when they could've added more beans just to make it more hearty. Definitely had better but it's not bad.
The creme brûlée and chocolate cup were both 5/5 for us, for they were both perfectly crafted, big in portion, aesthetically pleasing, and just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess! I would definitely get them both and I promise you won't regret it; whoever made the desserts did everything right!
Overall it was a decent experience for us; though we have high hopes Le Paddock can definitely improve and reach the 5 stars I know they have the potential of achieving! So give them a shot and definitely get the desserts!
Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:
