Fine's Cellar deserves another star for tonight's delicious food and wonderful service. Went back tonight for the Mon night 50% food promo. Had the Cobb salad, Duck Leg and Loup de Mer.
Cobb salad was a deconstructed version with various components (prosciutto, boiled egg, sundried tomato, roasted green onions, blue cheese, avocado and roasted golden beets) arranged neatly in rows on dressed greens. It looked beautiful and redeemed the lacklustre Caesar I had on my previous visit.
Duck leg was absolutely delicious - crispy skin, moist flavorful meat - on a bed of mushroom fricasee and silky mash. My only complaint is that there wasn't more. I could probably have eaten four plates.
Loup de mer is a whole deboned roasted sea bass, stuffed, this time with polenta and spinach. The sauce was very tasty and made the dish. Wish I had known to ask for bread so that no sauce was wasted.
Our server this time was Cord and he was friendly and professional even though we sat down only 1/2 hour before closing. His service definitely elevated our dining experience and contributed an additional 1/2 star.
