text: 3.5\n\nI liked L'Autre Version more than I expected I would. I am usually not very enamored of places that look like they were designed by senior citizens who still go to nightclubs. Paying for decor, especially when it's silly, is not my idea of a value proposition. \n\nBut the venison tartar was good and fresh. Pickled cauliflower was a good, bracing accompaniment, but almost too dominant. A fairly classic roast duck presentation was better still, though I'd like a mushroom that better complements the bird. Who wouldn't?\n\nUnder ordinary circumstances I would have indicated a 3.5 star rating with three stars above. But I think it's important that this place's average review score reflect reality. And not disaffected complaints.\n\nOur service, if you're wondering, was very good.
