Ashland, Oregon, April 28, 2013—
WE'VE BEEN MEANING to return here for a while now, and somehow never got around to it until today. Billed as a "bistro," with reproductions of Art Nouveau posters on the walls and French popular music playing over the sound system, the menu runs to bistro standards, plus the inevitable hamburger.
I opened with a salade aux frisée et lardons, with a nice sherry-vinegar dressing and a somewhat over-poached egg on top; then this plate of perfectly cooked duck breast, on a bed of polenta and not-quite-authentic collard greens, with a not overly sweet Grand Marnier sauce. Not bad; not bad at all.
Vuvray, Domaine Pichot, le Peu de la Moriette, 2011 (nice character); Vaqueyras, Jean-Marie Arnoux, 2010 (a little bland)
