- Escargots, it was the lowlight of the meal, very average. Escargot with a baked crunchy shell, with basil and butter
- Scallop and truffle with fetuchini. Good, but needed some salt.
- Main course for me was Tenderloin with mushrooms and chilean sea bass with saffron sauce. Both were good, tenderloin was very good. Not the best I've ever had, but still very good
- Braised rabbit legs with double smoked bacon + shallots was very good. I enjoyed it a lot, was not gamey. Sauce was not overpowering
- Grand Mariner souffle was very good, felt like eating an orange flavored cloud
- Passion fruit creme brule... was the best dessert I've ever had in my life. Perfect blend of sweet, sour, tart, and creme brule. Was not overtly heavy tasting

I only ever had Foie Gras once about 6 years ago and it was amazing but so expensive here. I had a chance to go Montreal 2 years ago and ate so much foie gras I almost wanted to puke lol. $18 will get you 8 fat slabs of it. It's way too rich I can only eat 2 before it starts to feel like my arteries are clogging.
This year Ebisu started stocking foie gras, making sushi with it, sort of like the Spam Musubi famous in Hawaii!
Thanks to your review next time I know what else to get at Le Croc, the rabbit is on my short list.
I wanted to get the escargot but I remembered your review and picked something else hehe.
