| - After reading the lackluster reviews of Digestif, I didn't even want to come here. But my husband made reservations a few days ago, and I went along with it.
I'm really glad I did.
First of all, I thought the atmosphere was great. To be fair, we were here on a weeknight and the weather was lovely, so we got to sit outside. But the noise level was just fine, the service was very professional and quick (but not TOO quick) and our food was good.
I ordered the beet and citrus salad (which was very good, except for the parsley, which seemed to overwhelm the entire dish) and the ravioli of goat cheese, tomato and sweet corn. It was very tasty, though I did think the presentation, which had it sitting in some sort of oily broth, was a little off-putting.
My husband had the daily terrine and pan-seared duck breast, which he said was amazing.
Our server saw I couldn't decide on wine, so he recommended the Novy nebbiolo, which was really great - one of the best wines I've ordered at a restaurant lately, and affordable, too.
What I really think this place has going for it, however, is -- well, perhaps obviously -- the digestif menu. There's such a wide selection, and it's really unique to the restaurant. My husband and I shared a Green Chartreuse and WOW.
It's a four star, not five star, experience, however, because the food, unlike the Digestif, did not completely "wow" me. But I do think this is a great, fun place to come for dinner, with good food and great drinks.
