Vegetarian dishes: croissant loaf, hummus, beet canneloni, burrata and peach, truffle pasta Recommended dishes: croissant loaf, caviar service, crab Louie, hailey cakes, beet cannelloni, Pêche Pontchatrain, halibut Oscar, carrot sticky toffee pudding, key lime pie Service: mostly excellent occasional lapses Stalcup said she and her partners started Pêche because they live in the area, but couldn’t find the sort of sophisticated seafood restaurant they craved.Ī little more attention to detail could help the restaurant grow into a dining destination, instead of just a nice neighborhood place. For example, Raquel Stalcup, one of the owners and the restaurant’s director of operations, said the Pêche Pontchatrain started out as a special, but proved so popular that it was added to the regular menu.
However, a carrot toffee pudding was excellent - the kind of dessert you can’t stop eating, even if you’re painfully full.Īs for Pêche’s key lime pie, its citrusy flavor was excellent, but the crustless concoction needed a bit more texture.ĭespite some uneven execution and service hiccups, Pêche’s local ownership appears to be adaptable and invested in the restaurant.
The same could be said of the strawberry cheesecake on the dessert menu. Its drabness weighed down the rest of the plate.Īnother miss was the seafood bouillabaisse, which was completely forgettable, aside from the striking, black-squid-ink linguine noodles. While the scallops were expertly cooked, you only get three for $41, and the bulk of the dish, a golden saffron risotto, desperately needed salt.
However, the saffron scallops turned out to be a disappointment.
