I went her with Gracie because I saw a TikTok about this placing having good key lime pie. Dessert at 5 pm was definitely a choice.

Pretty funny I came for the key lime but ended liking the other thing more. Maybe I don’t like key lime as much as I thought I did or maybe it’s their fault.

Key lime – 3.5/5

The key lime pie was decent. more gelatinous than i expected but the meringue on top was really good. While i did think the breadcrumb on the side was fun and different it kind of was weird and didn’t really add to the eating experience imo like it was cool you could as much graham to your key lime pie bite as you want but it was honestly a bit annoying.

Meringue was def a highlight of this dessert

The Noisette – 3.8/5

They really surprised me with that chocolate mousse. The crumble/brittle thing on top was p good slightly annoying as an add on on the dish Idk I def like it wasn’t easy or intuitive to get a bite with all ingredients I just prefer when the presentation is nice and the “bites” are intuitive/easy. I did like it a lot despite the logistical “nightmare”. The presentation was also cute and i liked how it came out

Price – 2.3/5

It’s not great value for what I got. Like the desserts were interesting, novel and doing things that I haven’t seen before. However just because it is DIFFERENT doesn’t mean it is BETTER. Like it’s expensive and like barely better than other desserts? Idk this does seem harsh. Like if you go off my price tutorial that I know everyone who reads my reviews has read and studied you’d know this scoring is going to be rather difficult for me. It initially had a scoring of a 2 but for the ingenuity (tbh it’s just somewhat deconstructed but doing it to this dessert is something and I can’t think of a better word atm)

Experience – 3/5

It is really nice inside as you would expect from a bistro. The waiter was nice and they were p attentive. I didn’t feel harassed or rushed at all and was about to just chat for a bit.

Ok SOooo I take step 1 tomorrow and that is chotto omoshiroi because if you ignore that fact that this test determines what kind of doctor I will be in the future its just a fun test to see how much i retained in the past year and a half.
