| - Michelin star, really? The stars are based on the food, not decor or service. So how? I don't see it.
Lets start with the food. My ceasar salad was delicious, not drenched in dressing. Can't screw up a salad though right? The foie gras, was not so terrible either. It was seared then placed into a broth. I could do without the broth. My duck breast was cooked perfectly. However, the huckleberry sauce was unexciting. I understand you want to add some type of acid to the fatty duck, and huckleberry sounds nice, but doesn't pair well.
My friends had the DB burger, the scallops, and the steak frites. Scallops came out rather well. As for the famous DB burger, I would suggest you opt out. For $32 its just not worth it. The ingredients are super fancy: foie gras, black truffles, and kobe beef. However when you bite into it, you taste only the burger. The truffles and foie get masked and you taste none of it. As for Steak frites, goto bouchon next door, they won't disappoint.
I would say next time, show up early and go for the menu prix fixe. Or just choose another place all together.
So how this place earned a Michelin Star is still a mystery to me. I've been here twice and neither time truly impressed.
With that said, service is pretty decent. It should be for how much you shell out on this place. Decor is beautiful.
