My favorite item was the lamb chop - but that is all it was, a well-executed ~$25 single lamb chop. With mashed potatoes and goat cheese. Something I could have gotten at any number of fine establishments around town. <br /><br />And to put things in perspective, I simply LOVED RoyalT and breadbar before that. This time around, there wasn't nearly the creativity or the perfection in execution that we saw last time. It simply was not as inspired. And the prices were ridiculously high as a reflection of quality, quantity, and venue. <br /><br />Did you think it was as good as RoyalT?Foodie Travelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031860161174589377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-88684936953031906432010-05-07T09:36:44.435-07:002010-05-07T09:36:44.435-07:00Hi, my name is Gabriel.

I was surprised to read your positive experience with Ludo Bites. I like to keep it real and, unfortunately, our food was rather mediocre. The only stand-outs were the squid "carbonara" and the lamb. To my surprise, our steak "au poivre" was chewy. I couldn't believe it! We were comped another lamb dish, but I'm surprised something like came out of the kitchen. The macaron dessert was simply a joke. For $12 he quartered a macaron, threw some sliced strawberries in and topped it off with "whipped cream." I could make that at home LOL. Just wanted to give a fair comment here and let others be aware that not all of his dishes are great.Gabrielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-70633972271817057582010-05-05T09:14:19.717-07:002010-05-05T09:14:19.717-07:00awesome!!! going this sat. very much looking for...awesome!!! going this sat. very much looking forward to it.<br /><br />btw, i think i may have found a part-time/freelance job for you<br /><br />http://www.careerbuilder.com/JobSeeker/Jobs/JobDetails.aspx?sc_extcmp=JS_JobAlert_Title&ipath=PSSGT42P&psa=1&Job_DID=JB97Z37612D70LH4YHX<br /><br />hahahaha.daniel s. kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11708191875652908574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-67032434299920414032010-05-03T23:45:47.483-07:002010-05-03T23:45:47.483-07:00Danny: I didn't clean up as much as I would...<b>Danny</b>: I didn't clean up as much as I would've liked--still dirty. ;P<br /><br /><b>Al</b>: Good to hear!
