The Urbanspoon reviews are kind of spotty




It is a fantastic restaurant. You can't go wrong with any of the charcuterie. I like the Grand Charcuterie but thats way too much for 2 people.

Most people LOVE the scallops (but that is not my favorite there).

I really like just about everything. The deviled eggs are good, as is the beef tendon. its all good, honestly.

I tend to make a meal there out of a charcuterie plate, the wings (most recently they've been brined in sweet tea and served with sorghum butter), and the vegetable preparation.

Also, an order of bone marrow if it is on the menu.

Urbanspoon is notorious for that stuff. It makes for salty reading.

Had the black laquered duck. Excellent dish.

As others have stated, their charcuterie program is one of the best in town.

a charcuterie plate is a must. face bacon, pork/duck rillettes, chicken liver parfait and the prosciutto are all awesome. also throw in a sausage or two in there.

the black lacquered duck is damn good. as FB said the scallops are something people go crazy over, but they're just not my thing.

inquire about any specials .. they're usually interesting.

not a chicken wing fan usually but their's are good. foie gras is decadent.

the Korean Short Rib Clay Pot entree is one of those that sounds awesome but it executed poorly.

if you want to order a bottle of wine they have Horror Show for a decent price.

whole market fish was excellent last time we got it. was red snapper w/ salted strawberries and fried cauliflower.

“CBD” Chicken, Beef, Duck-Poached Ballotine...get this every time we go, can't pass it up

Charcuterie...can't really go wrong with anything, order what sounds good to you

Black Lacquered Duck
Cohiba Smoked Scallops
Pork Belly (if they have it as a special)

The ménage au foie is pretty darn spectacular. I don't care for the scallops, but that's just my personal taste. The crispy pig ear salad was good on my last visit, and the wings with the butterscotch biscuits and sweet potato butter

Face bacon, prosciutto, wings, menage a fois, and the Indian-flavored dish that I can't pronounce.
