text: My sister and I headed to Coup Des Tartes to use her Groupon before it expired. She had been before and loved it, so I was excited to finally see what all the fuss was about! \n\nFirst of all, I just want to throw out there that I don't at all understand the name of the restaurant. From what I can recall from European History, a coup is a military overthrow. So... we're trying to overthrow the tarts? \n\nAnyways, I'm glad that we got here early, because even on a Wednesday, the place filled up pretty quickly. We were able to be seated right away despite not having a reservation, but that could be because we arrived about 10 minutes after it opened for dinner. There are not many tables inside, so it'd be pretty difficult if you had a large group, but the whole place has a very cozy feel. Unfortunately, there are probably less than a dozen parking spaces out front, so I'm not sure where you would park once those filled up.\n\nThe food came out pretty quickly, and my sister had the lamb shank ($24) while I had the salmon ($28). Her lamb shank came out on a bed of cous cous with assorted vegetables on the side. It was tasty, but a little on the salty side. My salmon came with spinach and basmati rice, topped with a green olive salsa and pesto on the side. I don't usually like green olives, but it went well with the fish, though the salmon was cooked a bit more than I would prefer. The rest of the dish was well seasoned, but the salsa was a bit salty. Both dishes came in pretty big portions, and went great with their housemade mint iced tea. \n\nEven though we were pretty full already, we figured that we couldn't leave without having some dessert! We had the chocolate peanut butter tart, which was great, but way too rich after our entrees. It was more chocolatey than peanut-butter-y, and not too sweet. We each only took a few bites, but luckily we got a box to take it home, and it was every bit as good the next day.
