    We have been going here for several years prior to a lecture series. Increasingly, the food has gone downhill and last week. We were very disappointed. Our food was very undercooked, and the accompaniment were lackluster at best. Our server offered free dessert, but we did not want dessert and he really should have taken the salmon off of the Bill as we were unable to eat most of it as it was too raw

    Since restaurant is located in downtown, parking is expensive. Soup and salad was great tasting and worth it. Duck confit was dry, overcooked and had strong poultry smell. Disappointed. Pistachio salmon was good. Recommend it. Risotto was good. Recommend it. French onion soup was great. Highly recommend it. Over all. I will give 3.5 stars.
