Let me start by saying the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because of the fantastic service and the cod fritters. Our servers were very attentive and did our best to help our friend who is allergic to mushroom... not an easy task since it seems like everything had mushrooms in it. Went there with my wife and some good friends. Most of us had been waiting to go here for a long long time. We started with some cod fritters which were so fantastic that we thought we were in for a memorable meal... it was... but for mostly the wrong reason.
Several people at the table ordered THE speciality here, Duck in a can. It was absolutely terrible. First the fatty skin was not rendered at all so when it came out of the can it was one of the most un-appealing meal I have ever seen. Just a big chunk of fat on top of the duck. The duck was incredibly tough and really not edible. We sent it back (and again this goes back to good service, there were prompt and apologized) and they claimed it had a tendon in the breast but this was seemingly the case for the whole table. I had the pig's foot "stuffed" with foie gras and it clearly wasn't stuffed since the foie gras was just sitting on top. That would have been fine but the meal was completely "one note" and had no outstanding flavors at all. The pouding chomeur was quite good in the end but not enough to redeem the meal and not enough to warrant how expensive the meal was. The room is also ridiculously loud and the floors by the bathrooms so greasy that it's treacherous to try and go in there. We won't come back here.
