A 4.5 star restaurant for sure! \nGood thing i made a reservation. I was able to secure a seat by the bar at 9:30pm last Saturday night. Yes, that is normal dining time for the locals. I love being seated by the bar/kitchen because i get to watch all the actions and feel the energy. They have quite a few beers on tab and good wine selections. \nWe had this crab in puff pastry as an appetizer which is not on the menu, it's so amazing: fresh crab with a little bit marinated and fresh greens sitting between perfectly crisped pastry shells, yumm! we also had beef tartare. I'm not a beef person, and i hesitated when the young lady next to me recommended it. it turned out to be amazing as well. It was exemplary in taste, presentation and execution. \nwe had special risotto and duck in a can for entrees. Duck in a can is pretty good, a little salty for me, but it's pretty good. I loved the risotto they made in front of me: they mixed pre-made risotto and a pan of pre-made sliced mushrooms and some foie gras in a huge cheese bowl. It is very yummy, but really filling. we also ordered poached pear with ice cream, that was a little too sweet for me.
