| - Went for Restaurant Week. Big crowd. Overall? quite good.
Sardine is loud. Like...really loud. It didn't help that our waitress was barely audible. We could hardly hear any of what she was saying. Regardless, we looked over our menus and ordered pretty quickly.
Service? Very good. Few interruptions or annoying bothers. Water bottles (glass pouring bottles) always full. These are things I notice.
Oh, right. The food!
For the first course I got the endive and apple salad with black current vinaigrette. Wonderful flavor combination, crispy squash was excellent, and walnuts are always welcome! No offering of black pepper? I had to ask. No worries, it was delicious.
Dinner: Cassoulet--duck confit, braised lamb, sausage, over white beans. Duck was bland, which is a shame because it's what I was looking forward to most. Lamb was very good, well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. Sausage was un-fucking-believable. probably the best sausage I've had in my life and cooked perfectly.
Dessert: Chocolate hazelnut deliciousness. Great crunch at the bottom. Almond wafer was superb.
Sardine was solid as usual. I've come to expect this--consistent, consistent quality. I'd go back (and have gone back many times). Of note: bar menu is absolutely awesome. Burgers are excellent. Win!
