I was starving and cranky when I went here with my fiance...we're getting married in 8 days and nothing is going right, but we decided to treat ourselves because we had heard that the food was very good here and I am so glad we did! We sat at the bar because the tables seemed a little too crowded with laughing couples (lots of couples) and we were able to chat as though we were the only ones in the place. We ordered a duck confit salad to share and it was absolute perfection! I always order duck confit whenever it's on a menu because it's my favorite thing. I had a glass of white burgundy and it was also perfect and smooth. I ordered the ricotta ravioli special, which was in a creamy, fresh broth with fresh sage and tarragon and tomatoes - it was a small portion but extremely satisfying nonetheless. He had the skate (which is usually hit-or-miss) but it was fresh and had the most perfect crust on it and came with a mound of perfect mashed potatoes and whole, roasted garlic cloves, which I soon attacked. We left there incredibly happy and as a result, the rest of our night went swimmingly well -wink wink.
Pros: Great food, nice wine
Cons: Crowding
