Such a satisfying (and comprehensive) meal. I went with their prix fixe menu and chose a pan seared Foie Gras of Duck over greens (really, the star of the show), Magret de Canard (their signature dish) as the main course, and a Grand Marnier Crême Brûlée to finish. Pleasantly surprised, an offering of paté of canard to start, was on the house.
While on the pricey side, a house which specializes in just canard is going to do you right, assuming that this is what you're looking for. Its hard to describe the elements that make a dish so satisfying, especially when prepared in French fashion. Its the foie gras sauce and perfect sear on the duck skin, its the oil used to fry the french fries, its the buttery roasted veggies. Maybe it's the decadent sear on the foie gras, topped on a subtly crisp baguette slightly softened by natural fatty oils, but protected by a thin fig spread. Whatever it is, it screams text book French
attention to detail.
The only peculiarity is the portion size. This is American specification in terms of quantity. Its too much, and too good. A lot of damage was done tonight.
Lastly, the Crême Brûlée-Grand Marnier was silky smooth under hardened caramelized shell. The slightest hint of GM was noted, and balanced. I don't want to be pushed over the line by a dessert, and this selection did me just right.
I will be coming back again, be sure!
