I am impressed though I am sure that means little in the modern world, but I wanted to take my hats off to something - As someone raised on the complex flavors and textures of Haitian Food, I find the flavor pallet used in much of Northern America to be missing in playfulness, acidity, and texture. MaMo in New Orleans Louisiana brought that forward.
Before I begin, let me say - I loved the service; sitting at bars is peak for me, it's an experience that brings you to the forefront of the restaurant experience, as the bartender dances a whimsical dance of patron and server. Our bartender Lindsay, danced to the tune of our orders, I wasn't in the mood for something sweet, but I don't enjoy spirits, wine was on the menu. After experiencing the lingering temptations of the white, I decided that a red was on the menu tonight . A delicious Tinto Rotiz blend from Portugal was what my tastes buds needed and I complied.
Followed up, my love and I decided to do this dance. I'm rather rigid, at least according to my friends, but when I play, I play, and MaMou's was a a playground that caused my tiny heart to race.
We followed it up with the Garlic Almond Milk Soup with Serrano ham, poached egg and saffron. They use the Oxford comma but I decided it to in this instance because I honestly hope this messes up your algorithm and only my love and I have this delicious dish to ourselves.
Our entrees the Risotto with shrimp and crab fat , though I did miss the fennel, but the caviar that I ordained on its crown more than it made up for it. The Pork Blade Loin, ah, it wasn't my dish, but i must say - when is Apple going to make the chef kiss emoji standard? The entrees were delightful, the risotto with caviar and the pork with truffle, it all just made our night more fun.
We finished our dance with the lemon madeleines, the crème anglaise offered was nice and cool, the Madelines crunch and warm in the center. I adore a contrast, and they gave me all of that tonight. I was delighted, I was impressed and I was pleased. 10/10 would eat again.
