| - Only two things kept me from giving this place a 5 star. The first was that they were out of Duck Confit Cassoulet, and I was looking forward to that. The second was, as we were trying to decide on dessert, a large group, obviously regulars, and "important people were seated next to us. They were VERY loud, but having a good time. One of the owners, a lovely, charming lady, spent a good deal of time chatting with them, adding to the volume.
But the restaurant should be judged on service and food (though the view was wonderful). Though disappointed about the duck confit, I was about to order the
Loup De Mer (sea bass), when the waiter suggested the Crispy Maple Leaf Duck Breast . I went with that, and was not at all disappointed. Perfectly cooked, and the port candied pearl onions were a treat. My companions both had the Seared Sea Scallops, and they too were perfectly prepared, and delicious. Our waiter was excellent, making good suggestions, and being attentive, but not overly so. We had excellent wine (bought 5 bottles on the way out-good price too), good food, good service, and though spendy, well worth the price. We'll be back.
