If I could have picked up the bowl and drank the liquid left from the Pei Mussels appetizer, I would have. It was absolutely incredible! They came in a big bowl with about 20 mussels and a large toasted piece of bread. But the real star, was the broth! Seriously. It was delicious.
I also really enjoyed the warm Chai Bourbon cocktail. After coming in from the cold, it was the perfect way to warm up my stomach for food. It also wasn't too "alcoholy" or overwhelming.
For the main course I had the Crispy Duck Confit. The duck was good. The crispy skin was the best part. It said it came with mushrooms and spaetzle, but if it did it was almost nonexistent. Same for the promised red wine jus. The dish definitely could have used some kind of sauce. Actually if I could have saved some of the juice from the earlier mussels dish that would have been perfect!
The atmosphere of this place was really lovely. Classy and intimate, yet not intimidating. The windows are also a really nice way of enjoying Shaker Square. Parking is a nightmare though.
