Duck liver parfait, rillettes, five spice seasoning, crispy skin, long toast. Lovely, smooth pate with chucks of duck meat and great seasoning. Beware the long toast. It’s way too fragile to spread on the chilled parfait.

Now here is the shocker. We were having a lovely dinner and asked for more bread as they only give you 2 paper thin pieces of long toast with the duck. The first request was never fulfilled so we asked another server. The young lady said it’s not a problem but they had to charge me $50 extra. WTF!!!! I leaned over our second bottle of $750 champagne and inquired “Sorry, did you say $50 extra?” She replied “Yes” and pointed to the menu where it says bread, $50. “Ok” I said, just hoping to get a bill with the $50 surcharge to post on Openrice. ;-) Luckily for all, the head waitress (hostess?) caught it and came over to explain “They have to do that to avoid people coming to drink, ordering one $200 appetizer and then filling up on bread.” It seems to me that if I’m paying $750 for a bottle of champagne and $200 on Duck Parfait, a few baskets of free bread is not too much to ask.
Make a reservation at least a week in advance or you won't get a seat.
