It's been a while since we've visited Sardine. Our experiences have usually been exceptional. So when we decided to visit this evening we anticipated another enjoyable evening. For the most part this proved to be true with one glaring exception.
The beers and wines we chose to begin our evening were good. We decided to share the mussels and frites appetizer though we probably didn't need that much food. Regardless the mussels were excellent...the frites OK.
My wife then had the duck comfit salad, which is her favorite dish here. She thought it was up to snuff.
I tried the evening special which was a fried cod cake accompanied by three shrimp. They were served with very interesting vegetable preparations. The cod cake however was boring. Pretty tasteless even with the sauce that decorated it. The shrimp were served in their shell. Unfortunately they were prepared such that they were very difficult to separate from the shell even after hacking at them with fingers and fork. After fighting with one of the three and still picking shell out of my mouthful I skipped the other 2. Oh well'
Service was very good
We will go back.
