    Overall this was still a positive experience. Now I adore French food! It is probably the best in…read morethe world if you take both sweet and savory flavors into account. It is one of my favorite cuisines to cook and eat, so I was very excited to try this place. However, the service actually outshined the food here. Our server was kind, attentive, friendly and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our meal. The restaurant wasn't busy that night, we were only one of two tables seated. The escargot was absolutely hands down by far the best thing we ate. I could smell it before it even came to our table! The mushroom sauce was rich, flavorful, herbaceous and so so fragrant. The snails were perfectly cooked and tender! My only critique of this dish was that I wish it was served in puff pastry rather than fillo dough. If you are feeling brave this dish is a must order! The house salad was okay. It was under seasoned. It had some pear slices and tomatoes. It was well dressed with a dijon vinaigrette. The sad part was the mesclun mix, it was old and slimy. I had to eat around the slimy bits which was gross. Now with vivid memories of the last time I had duck confit dancing through my mind, for my entree I ordered the duck confit. I took a bite of this with expectations high and was immediately perplexed. Confit is supposed to be moist, tender, decadently rich and flavorful because the duck is slow cooked in its own fat, which this wasn't. Could not have been. If I was told that this duck was roasted instead, I wouldn't have argued that it was confit at all. But then I tried to fork one of my vegetables. All the root vegetables were still hard and also unseasoned. I don't even understand this. The haricot vert were well cooked but unseasoned. The beef bourguignon fell flat. The sauce was too thin and the root vegetables were also hard on top of this dish. I loved the mashed potatoes because they reminded me of my Nonna. Hers were made with salt water and butter but not with cream so draw your own conclusions lol. The creme brûlée had me truly confused. It had a very unique texture. It wasn't rich and creamy, which comes from the use of heavy cream. It was much lighter, like if it were possible to make creme brûlée with whole milk or maybe half and half. No real discernible vanilla flavor either, definitely no real vanilla bean in here, which is my personal method. I ordered the pear tart and was sorry I did honestly. The tart base, which is typically made with butter in the dough was definitely made with a vegetable fat like crisco instead. And to add insult to injury, I could taste that it was going/had gone bad/tasted overcooked, so basically an unpleasant sour/bitter flavor. The frangipane punched you right in the face with almond extract, it was so overwhelming it ruined the balance of the dessert. But at least it helped mask that tart crust flavor. The caramel sauce was thin and basically flavorless. The pears were still hard. The tart was cold and served with cold ice cream from a carton. I would have thought that a restaurant of this caliber would make their own. In short, don't order the pear tart! Well I think that's all my comments, do with them what you will.

    Overall, a very nice experience. The ambience is sweet. Our server was great, very friendly and…read moreattentive. We had the grilled octopus as an appetizer- it was delicious, very well-cooked and tender. I ordered the chicken dish- Poulet À La Gaston Gérard- holy moly, the sauce on this is so delicious I had to keep reminding myself not the lick the plate. We had the vacherin for dessert- soooo delicious. Highly recommend checking this place out!

Every visit has been consistently outstanding. The food is simply exceptional. We've tried many dishes over the years, and honestly, everything on the menu has been delicious. You can truly appreciate the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in every plate. The service is equally impressive--friendly, professional, and always attentive, making every meal feel special. They don't offer a kids' menu, but that has never been an issue for us because our daughter has a very French palate and happily enjoys the regular menu. If you're planning to visit, I highly recommend making a reservation for the weekend, as it tends to fill up quickly. Also, keep in mind that they're closed on **Wednesdays and Sundays**. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for an unforgettable French dining experience, Le Canard Enchaîné never disappoints. We always leave looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

The place has that old world charm that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. We started off with their French onion soup and cream of mushroom soup and Les Escargot au Beurre and it was perfection. Next their house salad, followed by Steak tips Dianne, Veal Vosgienne (veal sautéed in a mushroom cream sauce), Steak Dianne (table side flambé in Madeira sauce and shallots), Gnocchi Chez Pierre with sautéed shrimp and Sole Margueray (poached in wine with cream mussels and shrimp). Everything was delicious. Service was attentive but you must allow time when dining here. The restaurant does get quite busy but it is well worth the visit. My only small disappointment was their bread basket. There were small packets of saltines alongside bread and butter. It seemed a little out of place at such a nice restaurant. It was an overall good dining experience and I would definitely return!

    Located in the quaint downtown of Narrowsburg, NY sits La Cigogne, a French-Alsacian restaurant by…read moreDamien Gray. Formerly located in Brooklyn, Damien brought the concept to Narrowsburg a couple of years ago. I've eaten here several times. Located in the basement level of 90 Main St in Narrowsburg, it arguably has some of the best views of the Big Eddy and Delaware River of any spot in Narrowsburg. When the weather is nice, an outdoor deck offers commanding views. Inside, the decor is a bit industrial with a nod to the Alsacian mountains. The space is all hard surfaces, primarily concrete, making it a very bright room from a sound standpoint. For this meal we sat that the bar by choice. Service was reasonably prompt and friendly. No specials were mentioned, and no substitutions or menu changes. I ordered the Pork schnitzel, my dining companion one of the spaetzle dishes. We started with tuna tartare. The tuna came out in a nice presentation which included an extra heavy "schmear" of avocado on top. The dish overall was so incredibly oversalted that it bordered on being unpleasant. The house made tortilla chips which were light and delicate, but again, so over salted they were bordering on inedible. The schnitzel came out and had been pounded out absolutely paper thin, and the breading was very dark brown. The side salad was mixed field greens instead of the stated arugula on the menu (no mention of a substitution). The Schnitzel was overcooked and, frankly, as dry as cardboard. Seemed like they are using a smaller pork portion and pounding it super thin to make it fit the plate to their spec. It also wasn't seasoned. At all. My dining companion's spaetzle was over cooked and mushy - almost disintegrating in the mouth. It's unfortunate because that dish looked incredibly promising on the menu. We added the asparagus appetizer (an odd appetizer offering, and not offered as a side dish), and it was good, cooked well, but again no seasoning. I added the leek mashed potatoes as my side. Again the theme of little to no seasoning raised it's head. The potatoes were cooked well, and the leek came through quite delicately, so it's unfortunate the kitchen didn't follow through. Overall - a lovely setting with fantastic views, and a great place for a glass of wine or a cocktail watching the sun set over the Delaware River. As a dinner destination, our latest experience is unfortunately consistent with past visits - a menu that promises great, somewhat simple dishes that fall flat on execution.

    It was my first time at La Cigogne, or even any restaurant t in Narrowsburg for that matter. Wow!…read moreI love it here. What a cute little town and La Cigogne has all the things that make for a great dining experience. Serena was our server and was super helpful and attentive. The menu was loaded with so many great items...I will need to go back for more. We were a party of 3 and the whole restaurant was vibing as the World Cup was on the big screen TVs in the background. There are several big screen TVs around the restaurant and it was cool we could keep on top of the score. The mussels and the scrumptious broth it came with was very good and just a bit spicy. I had the chicken fricassee as my entree and my friends also had the duck special, which they loved. We also had a very nice fruit sorbet that looked and tasted very impressive. There's also a great view outside on the veranda of a beautiful lake. Glad we stayed inside that night. Not only was it super hot outside but it poured during dinner and we stayed nice and dry. Maybe next time. I'd high recommend La Cigogne if you're looking for a great dining experience in Narrowsburg.

One orders at the counter, however, the dishes are brought to the table. The cashier was also the server, but I thought perhaps she was also the co-owner. [I didn't ask her for the story, but when I asked about the Vivian Gray Lotus and Rose soap in the bathroom, she said she had bought like a case of the German soap when she saw it on sale. (I'm super jealous because the soap is absolutely divine smelling - and rose is one of my favorite scents.)] Hubby started out with the French onion soup. He was in love. The good thing was I didn't taste any alcohol in it (which is good because not only are we teetotalers, but we can't cook with alcohol, either), but I thought the broth was fairly one dimensional, not too far above just bouillon. The onions were not sufficiently caramelized, either, in my opinion. (I make good French onion soup - and so I expect a chef's version of it to be better than mine.) Hubby liked that the cheese was wrapped around the piece of baguette floating on top. He then had the [Norwegian?] salmon on a bagel, which had quite a few capers on top. Again, he was in love - salmon, bagel, cream cheese, what's not to? I, too, thought it was a wonderful dish. I had ratatouille, which contained kalamatas. I've never heard of olives in ratatouille, but it was quite delicious as well, albeit a bit oily. The presentation was very nice as well. The eggplant was so tender it was almost melted, and the tomatoes, onions, etc. were nicely seasoned and was very enjoyable. I used baguette pieces to eat most of the dish up with. The dish is piping hot and, as the server warned, there may or may not be pits in the olives (there were none in mine), so beware! There is no tap water served and, according to a local, this is a good thing since, again according to her, Honesdale has the US's 4th worst tapwater in the nation. So we chose San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa (hubby) and a nice Sarasota sparkling (which may or may not be bottled right there in Pennsylvania). For dessert (to go; we were too full!), hubby got a delightful almond cake of some sort; I did not have the presence of mind to snap a photo of it before he devoured it (after we got home). He was generous, however, and gave me a bite - and it was so delightful and creamy and almondy. A few days later, I finally ate the cranberry muffin - and absolute perfection. Moist, wonderful, fresh cranberries. And despite the fresh cranberries, especially those on top, not one bitter one to be found. What's wonderful, too, are the prices. So, so, so, and did I say so reasonable?!?!? A delightful, charming place and, God willing, we will be able to go more frequently.
