We have eaten here many times before but unfortunately we will not be back. The food ranged from…read moremediocre to quite good but was too inconsistent. We ordered the bread and butter off the menu (only way to get bread) and the butter was individually wrapped in packets labeled Sysco. It was too salty and not good at all. We adore the butter in France and expected better from a boutique French restaurant. We also experienced the owner as being quite argumentative and we experienced his manner as condescending when we made what we thought were two fairly normal requests. Two requests that this restaurant had honored in the past under previous ownership (but we were unaware of the change of ownership). Our experience was that the new owner belittled our requests. One, to cook the oysters (my mother can't medically eat raw oysters but adores them if they can be cooked. And this was a special birthday dinner for her.) And a request for organic wine which we had had at this restaurant before. (Non-organic wine gives her a headache.) We also found the owner quite argumentative and experienced his manner as condescending when we made what we thought were two fairly normal requests. **In response to the restaurant's comments below, the issue was not that he said no; it was the way in which we were spoken to. (My mother actually left the restaurant for a bit to collect herself but chose to come back in for the meal. I wish we had just left.) The waitress was lovely and attentive. She was professional in all of her interactions with us and we were very grateful for her kindness. The eggs mayonnaise was just ok (could have made better ourselves). The ratatouille was quite disappointing, no depth or real flavor- definitely would have been tastier if we had made it ourselves. The branzino was the only highlight of the meal yet they had left a cluster of the green bean stems on the plate... ? On purpose? The night before we had an excellent dinner at Alta in Lenox Center. Don't hesitate to go there! Cafe Triskele used to be consistent and excellent. Unfortunately, our experience this time was very different. ** My comments below were added after the restaurant's response: I have made a few minor edits above to clarify my original review. I would also like to note that the person who posted the restaurant's response below was not present during the interactions described above. And at no point during the evening was an apology offered or did anyone come to our table to acknowledge what had happened or ask if there was anything they could do to address the situation.

WINNER WINNER! This may be the best chicken dinner I have ever had.

We…read morehave been for brunch, for their fresh breads and for their many amazing baked goods, but Le Perche is rarely open for dinner so we did not know what to expect. Dinner was OUTSTANDING. We started with their signature focaccia, fresh out of the oven. Then, a seasonal Asparagus Tarte that was very much a deconstructed version: a delicious butter crust at the bottom of the plate, frisée lettuce, perfectly prepared asparagus topped with a pecorino creme vinaigrette. The perfect spring dish. Next was a Tuna crudo with ramp oil, watermelon radishes, fresh microgreens and toasted hazelnuts. Finally, their take on a Frisée aux Lardons, served with pickled figs. The lardons themselves were nicely crisped, and very satisfying. We had Negronis for cocktails, and a generous carafe of rose, served off the tap. All around one of the best meals I've had. Can't wait for the next menu that Chef Jeffrey Gimmel puts together. Apparently this is a monthly series, so keep a look out and don't miss the June dinner, guessing end of June on a Saturday night?

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.

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.

We were seated by the window and were given freshly baked bread. We ordered the French classics: mussels, escargot, duck leg confit, and steak and fries. The mussels came out first and were pretty average. I usually like sipping the wine broth it comes with or dipping fries/bread into the broth. The escargot had plenty of oil and seasoning. It was actually too salty even though my coworker requested less salt on everything. I enjoyed dipping the fresh bread into the oil. Lastly came the entrees. I was a bit disappointed in both of them. The hanger steak was cooked medium rare like I wanted but the texture was not great. I was hoping for a more tender cut and this was a bit tough and lean. The frites were cooked well and very crispy. The duck confit was very tender but I didn't think it was amazing. Overall I don't think I will be returning to this restaurant with so many other great options around. I might be biased as I am not too familiar with French cuisine but we already sampled most of the classics already.
