The Press Room is rapidly gaining a reputation around town as the place to go for quality European (French-Italian focused) cuisine. Established last November by Gastrodome – the same company that brought us La Bodega – The Press Room offers an array of hearty, simple and fresh dishes as well as an incredibly extensive selection of wines.
According to Head Chef Thierry Bres, “We try to keep things simple here. We focus on that classic French taste. The most important thing is the taste of the food. Our customers know what they are getting and they keep coming back for more.”
I tried some of their specialties, starting with the Seared Foie Gras with Seared Apple. The liver and fruit complemented each other perfectly, and the dish was an absolute delight.
I then moved on to a sampling of snails, prepared in two distinct styles. I tried the Escargots with Tarragon Cream and the Escargots Gratines with Bleu Cheese Butter. Bleu cheese also made an appearance in our main course: the Beef Medallion with Bleu Cheese Sauce and Mash Potatoes.
For dessert I had the recenlty-introduced rosemary, sage and lavender sorbet which cleanses the palate with a refreshing zing and can actually be consumed at any time during the meal.
The simple, hearty fare of The Press Room made an enduring impression on my taste buds.
