What a gem!\n\nI'm a huge fan of roast duck and my dish was cooked to perfection and the accompaniment of celeriac mash & brussel sprouts was a great combination to counter balance the richness of the meat and maple sauce. It was well worth the $23 and was more than filling. My friend had the pulled pork platter and gave it the two thumbs up also. \n\nThe menu was quite small and mostly meat based (excluding the fish/seafood special) which I don't mind at all, but I wouldn't take any of my vegetarian friends here.\n\nOur server suggested a bottle of red that paired perfectly and his service was excellent. Unfortunately, his counterpart that opened our wine hindered his stellar service and this is the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5. \n\nThe wine was opened right over the middle of our table for 2, so our only option was to sit and watch him open the bottle that was right in our line of view. As we watched, I was a bit grossed out to see his whole hand wrapped right around the opening and was left imagining what sort of horrible germs were now flowing into my glass with the wine. The same server kept knocking me every time he walked past too, even though there seemed to be plenty of space for him to pass. The no credit cards was also a surprise. \n\nDefinitely a fan though. I'll be back and will be bringing more friends (although never more than a table of 4 since it's such a cute little place)."^^ .
