Axuria: A Bit off Today but Hey, Who's Complaining?

Axuria has been our "go-to" Sunday lunch place for quite some months but it didn't deliver today as strongly as before.  The amuse of a curried fish soup was terrific as a start.

Our friend "Boston B." was in town and he and I both started off with a super risotto with morilles with a mop-every-drop-up sauce and I thought we were onto another good 3 hours.

Colette had the bar, our pal the tuna with a caramelized glaze and I the St. Pierre.  None of us uttered words of praise, indeed, Colette said "Let's give it a rest," B. "Let me be frank and specific" and I thought to myself ""How can a fish place fall off the high cliff so badly?"

I had decided when our orders were taken to not have dessert but the two of them proceeded with a Grand Marnier souffle ("Im not sure it was good") and a "douceur" of agrumes from whose orderer no "ooh's or aah's" were uttered.

With a bottle of fine Languedoc, a big Badoit and 3 coffees, our bill was about 91.06 E a couple.
