| - I heard & read good things about Crop Bistro so I decided to give it a try. I went on a busy Saturday night, while the restaurant was full. The restaurant itself had beautiful decor, and a vibrant atmosphere. Seating was swift and we got our menus and ordered drinks very right away. We receive a basket of warm baguette and whipped butter, which was slightly sweet. I ordered the scallop appetizer, Peking Duck breast (medium rare) , and ribeye steak (medium well). The scallops arrived with two on a plate surrounded by vegetables. I was disappointed in the lack of scallops on the plate, and they were slightly over salted otherwise the dish was okay. We waited about 20 minutes for the entrées. At this point i was slightly annoyed by the birthday party next to us which was being way too loud and we couldn't hear or understand what the waiter was saying.The duck I ordered was a little more than medium rare, it was raw and Stone cold. I had to eat around the cold raw parts . The risotto that came with the duck was unspectacular, however the duck confit veg roll was delicious but slightly dry. The cranberry sauce that came with the duck wasn't good, but the steak in my dates dish was cooked nicely but was very under seasoned and she couldn't finish it. we skipped dessert and payed around $100 for the 3 dishes with tips.In conclusion I was underwhelmed by the experience, and the food was not worth the price, I recommend Le petite Triangle which isn't far from Crop for better food at half the price. Lola had much better food for the same price.
