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 nnFirst of all I just want to throw out there that I do not at all understand the name of the restaurant From what I can recall from European History a coup is a military overthrow So we are trying to overthrow the tarts nnAnyways I am 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 minutes after it opened for dinner There are not many tables inside so it would 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 am not sure where you would park once those filled upnnThe food came out pretty quickly and my sister had the lamb shank while I had the salmon 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 do not 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 nnEven though we were pretty full already we figured that we could not 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 peanutbuttery 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
