| - Au Pied was a sinfully wonderful meal. The Foie Gras Cromesquis, were delicious and exploded with juicy fatness; the apple foie gras was savory, succulent and crispy (and the most well balanced (buttery, salty, sweet, squishy, firm, textured, silky, rich) entree of the night); the duck-in-a-can released a barrage of aromas, followed by more flavors of sin; and the veal, which was incredible on its own, had a bitter green herb that resulted in an unpleasantly acrid reduction (but was easy enough to avoid). Overall it was an exceptional meal. Our only complaint was that the wine we had was our only method of cutting the richness. An amuse bouche just prior to the main courses would have opened things up nicely. A minor complaint, though, and a good excuse to just drink more red wine. Overall it was quite an amazing experience and a lot of fun, too.
Oh, the hostess seems very unhappy. Perhaps it was a bad night or perhaps the stress is too much, but being greeted with a scorn isn't something most people rate high on the list of what they like in a restaurant.
