| - Bac was just as delicious as I had hoped. I have been meaning to eat here for awhile. I was glad I made a reservation, because a HUGE birthday party came in and took up nearly the whole restaurant.
The drinks were awesome. I had the 17th Parallel, which was different, but tasty. My boyfriend had the Singapore Redux, which tasted AWESOME. If I didn't have a bad history with gin, I would have ordered it for myself. I would love if they made something similar with vodka in the future.
For an appetizer, we had the autumn rolls (on the seasonal menu). Delicious.
My boyfriend had the chicken basil rice. Very generous portions and definitely tasted good. I decided to order the Peking Duck (also on the seasonal menu), in honor of The Christmas Story. (Did I mention the restaurant has a leg lamp in the window?) The duck was AWESOME. Presentation was nice. However, this was different from any other duck experience I had. Sliced duck (ok, normal), a mix of veggies, sauce, sticky rice....and tortillas?? Well, I wasn't sure what to do, so after years of eating Chipotle, I figured I would make myself three little duck burritos with a combination of all the ingredients. I'm assuming this is what was expected of me, but I still wasn't sure.
My little burritos/wraps or whatever...turned out to be sooo yummy. The only thing I would do in the future is cut up my duck a bit more. Since duck is generally fatty, it was impossible to take a bite of it and not get an entire mouthful. I would also be happy if a duck dish was added to the regular menu, and not just as a special. But I must say I can't wait to go back and try OTHER items on the menu.
For dessert, we ordered the fried ice cream and some coffee. The coffee comes with sweet cream at the bottom, so nothing needs to be added. The fried ice cream was fantastic, but my boyfriend didn't care for it, as he insisted that Americans will deep-fry anything (um,why not!?). Whatever, more for me :)
Anyway, you should head to Bac. He's a cool guy, and did a great job with this place. We will definitely return!
