  • Holy schnit! I just had one of the best dishes of the year and I won't be able to have it again for a long time, if ever. Kat F. and I made the trek out to Roncesvalle before Silver Spoon served their last meal on January 22. We met up with SS regular Martin S. and his lovely lady friend. Martin said, "Get the duck" and even though I've never met him before, I've read enough of his reviews to know that he does not fuck around when it comes to food. The dish is juniper berry infused crispy duck confit with a lychee and blueberry jus and organic vegetable and potato hash ($24). The duck leg had been rendered so luscious it almost quivered while the fatty skin on top had been seared crisp. I took one bite and declared, "I want to make love to this duck." Okay, in retrospect, I realize that's silly. The duck was dead and I'm not into bestiality or necrophilia. But I stand by my initial impulse; I wanted to give that duck as much pleasure as it gave me. The vegetables were nothing to sneer at either: purple and yellow baby carrots, little potatoes, and other seasonal vegetables were soaking up the savory jus the way Tila Tequila soaked up her 15-minutes of fame. A glass of '05 McManis zinfandel ($12) was a juicy, bold match for the unctuous duck. After hearing reports that Silver Spoon has the best flourless chocolate cake in the world, we had to try it. The cake is served warm and blanketed in creme anglaise and chocolate sauce ($8). The chocolate flavor is intense and rich without being overly sweet. Just one spoonful was enough to make me swoon. Yeah, we had some missteps with the amuse-bouche and vinaigrette that was curiously missing from our Soiled Reputation greens salad but factor in the amazing service, reasonable price point given the high quality of ingredients, and unpretentious neighborhood-bistro vibe, and of course, confit so good it makes you want to *bleep* a duck...well, I'll round up my 4.5-star rating to 5. I'm sad Silver Spoon has shut its doors for good but I'm glad to have snuck in at the 11th hour. I hope the team lands somewhere else and resurrects that confit dish so that I'm not entirely consumed by duck lust.
