Restaurant La Roseraie is set in a beautiful garden outside the Hotel La Roseraie. The trees…read more flowers and pathways are absolutely stunning but that's where the Wow ends, and the OW begins. The positives were an extensive wine list and a smashing special entree, the Swordfish Trifecta. The trifecta consisted of tartar, smoked, and sashimi; a delicate and wonderful dish. The restaurant specialty is duck and I went with the waiters strong suggestion to order it. The duck was presently beautifully but was tough as a construction boot and had zero flavor. I ordered the duck medium rare as suggested, and it was cooked perfectly. The meat and the texture was honestly the worse duck I have ever had; it was simply not edible. I spoke with the waiter about it very discreetly and he seemed perplexed and somewhat hesitant to speak with the chef. I asked for the chef to come speak with me if he wouldn't, so he left the dish and retreated. He came back about 10 minutes later and said "sorry"; my response was "what did the chef say" and his response "sorry". He then walked away. He never offered to replace the duck or another dish. I sat there for 20 minutes and never touched the dish. When he returned he said "sorry, we would like to offer you dessert". I was beside myself at this juncture and frankly had lost my appetite. I declined the dessert offer. Our bill came to 102 Euros for my wife and I with one entree, two plats, one dessert (my wife), and a bottle of wine. There was no adjustment made to my bill for duck and I paid the full price plus left a nice tip for the waiter. My belief was it was not his fault and the chef was probably a monster to work for. Neither the chef, maitre d said a word to us as we left. The following day I sent the maitre d a note expressing my strong dissatisfaction with my dinner, the experience, and their overall lack of pride in their food. The maitre d responded with an angry and scathing note accusing me of lying and not knowing great food if I saw it. He went on to berate me and spew ugliness. My strong, strong recommendation is to avoid this restaurant at all costs. Maybe it was an off night for the chef, but there is no excuse for the maitre d's lack of professionalism and ugliness.
