Oo La La...La Sirene!

I decided to get my French on and try La Sirene on Broome Street. Although the French restaurant is tucked away in its own desolate corner of Soho, it is a nice surprise upon arrival. As I met my friend outside of the restaurant, the smell of tasty food filled my nose which is always a good sign. La Sirene is really tiny, but warm and welcoming from the server's greeting upon entering, dim lighting and nautical decor. Great place to catch up with friends or impress a date. 

Now let's get down to business and talk food. For appetizers, we decided on the 'Calamards Sautes Provencale' (calamari) and mussels in red wine sauce. The calamari was tasty and had slight hints of garlic but nothing to write home to mom about. Being a novice to mussels but an adventurous foodie, I decided to taste. The mussel had a good seasoning to it, but mussels are just not my style..not a huge fan. Moving on to the main act: the pan seared skate fish with mango. The fish was well seasoned with warm butter and I loved the taste of sweet with the addition of mango..definitely a winner. I was also amazed that mashed carrots could taste so good..who knew.
 Naturally, we ordered dessert for the whole group to enjoy.. my personal highlight. 'Big Profiteroles' took home the trophy for me. It was chocolate on top of chocolate with ice cream mixed in there for the party. The chocolate had a hard texture and looked like small cakes with ice cream inside and chocolate drizzled everywhere. Let's just say this dessert was so good that I would have licked the plate! La Sirene is worth the trip just for the 'Big Profiteroles', ambiance, service and the TLC put into every dish.
