If you're going to use "frites" you should probably use "moules" as well - "mussels frites" looks and sounds bizarre.

I'd say he more than made up for it by referring to the frites as "deeply terrestrial". If I didn't know better, I'd have thought this review was a parody. Maybe I should re-read it on a farm in North Carolina...on a cool, grey, autumn afternoon.

I'd suggest you take this up with Laurelhurst Market. The dish is listed as "Mussels Frites" on their menu. I apologize if this caused any confusion. Thanks, and keep reading!

Laurelhurst's steaks are amazing, well executed, delicious - but no way in hell are they affordable. Clearly they've tricked you with the same ruse they are using to trick everyone else.

$21 for a steak *is* less than at other steak places, until you consider that at traditional steak houses, you don't pay $8 for the potatoes on the side, or $6 for a few sauteed vegetables. The steaks at LH are truly a la carte: add up the elements of your meal and you will very quickly find that you have paid much more than you usually would, all the while thinking you paid less. It's a neat trick, but a trick none the less. I'm sorry to say, you were fooled.

No shit, this is an extraordinarily expensive restaurant, at least at dinner.

Can't you at least try, Pattie?

Please wait...
