I would love some suggestions on what to order...they may have duck confit..any opinions of how they do this dish? Other tips? Thanks Wed Sep 13 21:10:17 -0700 2006 12618 erica 1 1874684 Not sure about the duck confit, but their oysters (which they get from Pearl next door) are always a great appetizer, as are the crab cakes.

Some of the best I have had in the US. They were from the Pacific NW but I did not catch the name; I wish I had asked again. I began with their excellent crab cake..lots of lump crab and little binder atop some crisp baby greens. My sister and I both ordered the duck confit while BIL had the crabcakes as a main. The duck confit was very very good, served with haricot verts and creamy mashed potatoes. We drank kirs and wines by the glass...I believe that the three whites on offer by the glass were all under $10..Macon Lugny; a Trimbach pinot blanc; and a white Cote du Rhone. Overall a very good dinner; friendly service; a very cozy ( and a bit cramped) place. The kind of spot I wish we had in my neighborhood.
