Anniversary dinner last night. Restaurant was not busy. We shared the Caesar Salad ($2.00 charge to split it). My hubby ordered the Duck Confit and he enjoyed it. I ordered the Mussels and Fries. Mussels were good quality and Fries were cooked to perfection. Desert was Profitroles and prepare very well. The service was a bit slow but, we were not in a rush.
