Had the duck and while the flavoring was spot on, it was dry and not crispy enough. Confit should have crispy skin and it wasn’t.

The only salvageable part of the meal was the excellent service from the wait staff. I have been coming here for years, but unfortunately this will be the last time. On Saturday 5/17 I ordered the scallops and they were so salty, they were borderline inedible. Just terrible. We also had the beef tips and asked for them medium rare. They came back well done, dry, and tasted like over-seasoned bits of rubber. We felt bloated and horrible afterwards, so uncomfortable that our evening was ruined. What are you all doing in the kitchen? What happened to this place? $200 for one of the worst meals of our lives.

Service was tremendously slow!!! Food was cold. Portions very small. Way over priced for the amount of food and the quality of the food. Go somewhere else
