la serre

last night we finally tried la serre, albany, courtesy in part of a living social deal that's been burning a hole in my lil britches. it's a very quiet, old school restaurant, which was a nice change of pace after a hell week.

it was so dark and quiet i didn't take pics (sad face) as the flash would have been awkward. for app we ordered the crab cakes, which were nice & crispy & very crabby and served with some kind of red pepper sauce that i could not get enough of mmmmm. for din i had a nice glass of cab and the veal oscar which was 2 pieces of veal with (massive) lumb crab, hollandaise, and a congac reduction sauce, and served with a side of asparagus & mashed potatoes. um... yum. i wish i knew what on earth was in that sauce... everything single thing on my plate was delish, but i was so into the sauce at times the food just seemed like a means to sop up more saucey goodness (i even ate some of my asparagus, whaaat). kyle ordered the rack of lamb, and the bite i tried was delissshhh. not at all gamey... it had almost a buttery flavor. no desert b/c we had to save room of caaandy at the movies. all in all... we were really happy with our eats & would def go back. 8 ********.
