| - Perhaps it was just an off night as they had a large party going on, but after reading all the great reviews, I was expecting more. Food was good, but nothing to be wowed about.
We were seated at the community table which was perfectly fine. Had a nice little chat with our neighbors. We started off with some drinks and then ordered everything right away. We had the rabbit rillette, duck fat fries, dates with chorizo, ravioli with duck egg, pork belly, octopus, and the foie gras mousse based off of other yelp reviews. The rabbit rillette was really good. Funny though when the server brought it out, she didn't tell us what it was and we thought it was just complimentary bread and spread. It wasn't until half way through our meal that I suspected it was the rabbit rillette dish. Duck fat fries were delicious. Tasted so light yet so crispy and soft at the same time. I can eat it all day. Dates with chorizo was okay. Not my taste, but it wasn't bad. Ravioli with duck egg was good, but it didn't really have any kind of texture so it was kind bland in your mouth. Sorta like baby food. Pork belly was good, but I wish it was crispier. That would have made it even better. Now, the octopus was surprisingly good, tasted like a well done piece of fish. I wouldn't have known it was octopus at all had I not ordered it. The foie was just okay for me. It's a combination of sweet and salty with a sort of bitterness aftertaste. I probably won't it order again. Overall, it was a nice meal... Something different and will probably visit again to try other dishes.
I noticed that some people were ordering as they go (instead of everything at once like us) which could be good too cause we got quite stuffed by the end if the night. Definitely come as a small group!
