Dinner at ABC

A.O.C. is a French Bistro located on 314 Bleecker Street  New York.
I liked it the first time I dined there. I went back twice, and the charm was completely 
gone. Actually, the word is awful.
The second time I arrived at 6:00pm in the evening,  and they have already sold out the escargot,
and foie gras. It's totally unacceptable for a French restaurant.



Friture De Calamars crispy fried calamari served with three sauces
The calamari were not fresh, and the sauce was so bland. BBQ sauce at
MacDonald is more piquant than here.



Assiette De Charcuterie platter of soppressata, sausage, duck pate, seasonal greens and cornichon
It's not bad, but it consists mostly of cold cuts after all. Hard to mess this one up.

 Homemade foie gras with apple compote and tartine
I didn't like it, and it is $18. $6  more then Antibes Bistro.

Escargot snails cooked with pastis from marseille, fresh garlic and parsley
Only one word: "Acceptable".

Risotto Aux Legumes arborio rice, truffle oil, mushrooms, vegetables, parmesan cheese, walnuts, aged balsamic vinegar
Best dish of the night, rice is moist and the favor is right on the spot.

Pasta A Le Bretonne fresh tagliatelle with shrimp, clams, mussels, shallots, saffron sauce and organic baby spinach
I like it, although the favor is on the rich side.

Pasta Carbonara fresh tagliatelle, french bacon, ham and cream sauce.

Jarret D’Agneau tender colorado lamb shank cooked with rosemary, polenta and seasonal vegetables
I liked it so much the first time, but now just like everything else in this restaurant, going down hill faster
than a snow ball.

Moules Aux Safran steamed pei mussels in a creamy white saffron sauce

Creme brulee
"Atrocious"
