I expect more from a Michelin starred restaurant. I think if I hadn't known it had a star and I went I would have enjoyed it more, since I was comparing it to a much higher standard than it delivered on.
The main downfall was the service, while it was fine it wasn't great and the small things weren't done right. For example, we never got our water refilled and it took longer than average for us to get the menus after we sat down even though there wasn't that many other people there.
The food was very good, and the price was a deal. We got the 3 course menu for dinner for $68 per person. We started with the foie gras pate which was done very well. We then got the duck entree, which was one of the best duck breasts I've had in a long time. The fat was rendered perfectly while leaving the meat a solid medium without being chewy. The fruit that was paired with the duck was a good choice, and showed that the chef was thoughtful with his accompaniments. Dessert is what I was really looking forward to, an elderflower souffle. While it was good it was also a bit of a let down due to the fact the souffle was in a cup the size of an egg cup. Elderflower is one of my favorite flavors, so having it being literally three bites was sad.
All of the bread they served was completely burnt and I'm shocked they served it.
I would still recommend going, but curb your expectations as far as Michelin stars go.
