The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

This place was a huge letdown. They had a cute little artisanal market on the front left of the…read morerestaurant. They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.

Highlights not to miss include the calamari appetizer, the tuna and risotto main as well as the raie/skate fillet main.

came here on the recommendation of a french friend…read more not sure what to expect. arrived here at around 4.30pm and was pretty empty. was politely told their kitchen won't open till 6.30pm. wasn't sure if I could last so long, to be honest. ordered a glass of champagne to start. followed by a mix cheese plate, jamon serrano and some olives. rustic bread basket accompanied them. mainly high bar stools seating, not the best for big groups. especially not when it gets crowded after their kitchen starts churning out tapas. another glass of white and red later, i surprised myself for having stayed so long. almost long enough to order some tapas perhaps? a request to have a look at their kitchen menu was turned down. she will only let me have it at 6.20pm. fine.... when I finally get my hands on it, I immediately ordered at 6.30pm. the carrot beignets and the lamb sweetbreads. not sure what happened after...... tick, tick, tick..... i was pretty sure i was the first to order? everyone else started to get their food. was patient and waited for a bit before enquiring. a surprised male server looked into it. crickets...... further food arrivals for all patrons around me! enquired again and again with three other ladies including the gal who took my order. finally, my beignets arrived. it was ok but way past my bedtime! alas, the sweetbreads came almost an hour after i initially placed my order, which didn't even come close to any good sweetbreads i've had many times prior! just couldn't bring myself to finish it....... sorry but even though they said they would comp one of my wines(was the champagne), i have already made up my mind that all they will get is a middling grade. not sure if i would recommend them to you. but if you are in the area and needed a tipple, sure, else look elsewhere. p.s. further service recovery in the form of another glass of red was poured my way, perhaps a little too late?

So the little red door has a cute red door but the bouncer lets you in through another door (novelty observed haha). The man takes your jacket and umbrella (what a gentleman!) and sat us on the second floor. While the space between the couch and the seats were rather small, we were able to manage. I got the permaculture and resilience. The resilience is a club favorite and my favorite too! The way the sorghum, pineapple sage (syrup), pasquet cognac, and savanna rum all tied together was a blessing. I was going to get a third but I was tipsy by my second drink. My first drink was the permaculture and while I was considered it would be strong, it didn't seem strong to me. I love clarified dairy in alcohol so this was a win in my book. It consists of chestnut, butter, wakaze umeshu, avallen Calvados. The bar let's you stay for an hour but if you sit elsewhere, you can stay as long as you want. 5 stars and I hope to come back someday!
