not recommended

the food was quite good, the pear and sweet onion tart was delicious, but the duck was over done. it is too expensive. we went in thinking we could have the christmas prix fixe which was advertised on the their website but it was not yet available. we got a horrible table downstairs, my fault for not insisting the host look for a table upstairs. the service was by far the worst service ever. i had to ask for water a number of times. the waiter who took our order and got our drinks and brought our appetizer was not the one who brought us our entrees and there was a considerable wait for the entree. when the entrees were dropped off our drinks were empty but the waiter plopped the plates down and took off. then the waiter got the bill wrong not once, not twice, but three times. it was the first time in my life I did not tip and let me tell you, I didn't feel bad about not tipping. He was handling less than 10 tables. there was no reason for inattentiveness, especially with the cost of the meal and the fact we were sitting under the stairs next to spare furniture covered in table clothes. very very disappointing.
