| - This review is ONLY for the food and NOT for the service.
The food is absolutely delicious. My friends have been talking about coming here and I finally got reservations for my husband's birthday. We started with the salumi and beets, beets, beets & beets, it's a perfect starter with some cocktails or a pinot noir. The 8 of us were able to share this nicely with bits of duck, beef, pork, pate... so many things on the plate. Then I went onto the duck confit. The flavor and tenderness of the meat on the duck was AWESOME and so good, however, it was a little too salty for me. It paired nicely with the golden raisins and grains on the plate.
The food runner was great about explaining all the parts and flavors in the dishes.
The only upsetting part was our waitress. She didn't seem to be in the mood to help us or serve us. It was a late seating, so there weren't that many tables she had to overlook. We were done with our appetizers and hadn't ordered our meals and she was nowhere to be found. I kept flagging down other waiters to order second drinks. This part was extremely frustrating, PLUS the music was really loud to yell across the restaurant to grab someone's attention. I also left my card to pay for the meal with the hostess as it was a big party. When we finally got her attention again for the check, she brought it without the card. I had to remind her about that. It's not exactly a cheap restaurant and I had expected the service to be a little better than that.
