The Lamb Osso Buco at the Epicure Cafe

Well, just got back in from the Epicure Cafe. As usual, it was reasonably good - but not excellent. Unfortunately, ever since they moved a few doors down they've never been the same. (That and the fact that they dropped the voodoo chicken from their menu was probably one of the greatest crimes against humanity in our time).

Anyhow, as to the lamb osso buco: not bad. The jus was balanced - heavy, soulful, delicious. The lamb was cooked well albeit the cut was slightly on the fatty side. (Oddly, the waitress asked how I would like it to be cooked - is it possible to braise lamb so that it's medium-rare?!?) The vegetable garnish was tasty and paired well with the lamb. A good dish but not earth-shaking in any way. The Epicure really is no longer what it once was. Overall, I'd give it 6 on 10.

P.S. Now this is getting crazy - three posts in one day?!? Can I keep it up?
