The duck confit was eye-rollingly good. G. Grod's steak was so good it probably didn't need the mushroom topping he ordered for it. My duck started out great--crispy skin and tender on the inside, over mixed Chinese vegetables in a soy broth. But the soy asserted itself more and more as I ate, so by the time I finished, the dish was distractingly salty. I told the server; he agreed with my assessment and said it was a new spring recipe, and they were still tinkering with it. I can't comment on dessert, since we went somewhere else, but they didn't look compelling enough to stay. The shortcakes that went by looked pale, not golden brown.
