This place was highly recommended to me and as an American I was naive, I walked in on a Friday night after drinks and appetizers with some friends. And load and behold there was a seat at the bar no wait, elbow to elbow with a local with her cycling helmet and a gentlemen dressed in a finely tailored suit. And I am wearing a shorts and a t-shirt (us Americans are so horrible at dressing up while on vacation.
The service overall was really good, traditionally trained bartenders dishing out fine wines and suggestions for diners. This place is straight up traditional, with the right food, service, and ambiance. For me I had a glass of red wine and the duck confit salad, I am not normally a salad kind of guy, but I did not regret getting the salad. The duck was seasoned well, the meat was moist, the greens were fresh (this is the end of August by the way) and the balance of the bitters and the sweets of the greens and the sweet meat was on point.
This is one salad I would eat again, but there are so many other great things on the menu if I was to go here again.
