I hadn't been in here in about a decade, but found it looks exactly the same as I remembered it…read more Staff members were polite enough. We were in at lunchtime and very pleasantly surprised at how quickly our food came. We shared a tuna melt, and very glad we had made the decision to share since it came and was absolutely ginormous. I love that they include tomato on it and some great cheddar cheese, but also appreciate the way the tuna is made, with some solid pieces of tuna, plus interestingly, some very finely diced carrot, which gave a slight sweetness and crunchiness to each bite. This was a really great sandwich. We had fries as our side and the french fries were perfectly golden. They are battered, but the batter was very light. Very good. My daughter's latte was excellent. Too full to have dessert, but we did take some croissants home for later; they just look so good. Everything in their dessert case is beautiful.

The service was fantastic. Friendly, informative, and personable. The whole experience felt intentional from the presentation and plate choices to changing out the dishes between each course, even how the utensils were placed. The tiny BLT amuse-bouche was such a fun start. Somehow they packed the entire BLT experience into one bite...smoky bacon, bright tomato, and a perfectly crisp puff pastry. The crab and corn was one of my favorites. The shrimp oil somehow tasted like pure shrimp in the best way, while the poblano sauce was bright and tangy and the sugar melon added the perfect sweetness. I was practically licking the bowl. My one callout, more crab please. Even the bread and tomato-chive butter was memorable. The tomato had a slight tang, the chive was subtle, and little bursts of salt made the flavor pop. The rabbit pie was another standout. The pastry was buttery, flaky, and SO light, while the smoked rabbit was tender and delicious. The mustard seed added a great acidic contrast. The rabbit heart was probably the one component I could've done without, just felt unnecessary? Didn't really add much? I also loved the seared foie gras and crispy duck confit taquito. The foie was incredibly tender, rich, smoky, and delicious. The taquito was a thin thin wrapper packed full of tender duck with great smokey flavor. The sturgeon pastrami genuinely tasted like pastrami despite being fish, which was wild! The rest of that course wasn't really for me, but I loved the citrus and pickled radish that helped brighten it up. The lamb was beautifully cooked and charred with rosemary, and the demi-glace was sooo good. The risotto wasn't my favorite, but honestly I think I might just not be a risotto person. Dessert was a great finish. The blackberry mousse was fresh, light, fruity, and nutty with a delicious cardamom flavor. The foie gras profiterole was also surprisingly good. You couldn't even taste the foie gras, and the slight saltiness worked so well.

Best meal of our lives…read more My husband and I decided to try our first "Chef's Tasting Menu" experience here at Le Pigeon for our Wedding Anniversary. There are 5 courses, with a 6th extra dessert, and a 7th course for $30 more. We asked for all 7 because everything on the menu sounded good and I was worried I would still be hungry afterwards. We opted for the selected wine pairing and took a 20 minute walk around the block before driving. The wine was amazing, so we're glad we chose that option. We definitely want to try the non-alcoholic pairing next time, now that we know we can trust their expertly curated selections to be exceptional. We were surprised: 1) that in addition to the 7 items we were also served an amuse-bouche, Ken's Artisan bread with garlic confit, and a chocolate truffle made in house with the check (so many additions!) 2) that the staff gave us new, clean silverware with every dish (fancy!) 3) that each staff member was knowledgeable about every item served. We were really impressed with the attention to detail, knowledge, care, pride, and service. I was speechless when tasting the seared foie gras with the hint of salt on top. My husband could taste the glaze that had been brushed onto the duck tornado. The profiterole was mind blowing. 11/ 10 would recommend for anyone that can afford this experience.

We began with a dish that, sadly, I can't recall the details of... it was a round slice of goat cheese, on top of a piece of bread, on top of a slaw type of salad. It was a special that evening, so I do not have a better description from the menu. My wife very much enjoyed their braised lamb entree, and I was delighted with the beef filet. The total bill was quite reasonable for a special dining experience.

Changing seasonal menus means it's never the same thing twice (except the steam burgers, which are a beloved institution of their own, and I hope they stay on the menu forever). The best thing about Canard, besides the food and service, is how accessible it is. You don't have to be well educated about wine to benefit from their excellent collection. Those who might find finer-dining items intimidating will also find familiar favorites on the menu. Even my teenager, who can be wary of trying new things, was persuaded by beautiful presentation to give every dish a chance (spoiler: she liked everything she ate!). Just the best place, worth every penny.

I did a walk in around 6pm on a weekday and there were plenty of seats at the counter where you can watch them cook. The foie gras is delicious but not a must do for the pancakes. I think it works better with the duck frites. I think the duck was good but I just had one bite so can't remember. The fries were good though. Foie gras dumplings were also memorable but I don't necessarily need to get it again. The arugula salad was refreshing although I'd ask to have it accompany the duck stacks next time to have a refreshing side. I love fish so I expected to love the chicken fried trout but it was just alright compared to the other dishes. The Paris brest was excellent. Personally, a little too much passionfruit tartness for me but loved the milk crumbles. Heartless Rita mocktail tasted too much like juice for me.

After being greeted and seated by Rose, we received an aperitif wine. Then the first course, Gougere filled with duck liver mousse - fantastic! Then Mini cassoulet, filled with fabulous flavor. Followed by Consommé with chicken quenelle - wonderful! Next was 69 Yolk Tagliatelle with rabbit ragu - unbelievably tender and flavorful. Then Duck breast with butter braised broccoli and celeriac puree. It was delicious, but we were starting to feel very full by then! Dessert was almond cake with homemade ice cream - somehow we squeezed it in! The wine pairings were great! They put a lot of effort into finding really good wines with interesting backstories. George described each course as they served it, and Rose was the perfect hostess. The courses are spread out nicely, so plan to spend 2-3 hours in the very cozy setting.
