Ate at Epernay on Saturday night. Were seated promptly indoors at a cramped table. Table behind us was way too close--we didn't change table as they were just finishing dessert and we could move their table a bit. Upon being seated, nicely crusted bread and herbed butter were placed on the table. Waitress came over promptly to recite the special-- Duck confit on mesclun salad with figs and vinaigrette. My wife started off with the Bacon, Bleu cheese salad with mustard vinaigrette and a poached egg. This salad was fantastic--- you were supposed to chopped the egg up in the salad. Bacon was large chunks of meaty country bacon. I had the steak tartare-- when i ordered, the waitress asked me, "how i wanted it cooked?". I looked at her as if she had 2 heads, and she responded,"oh, sorry, but a lot of people asked for it medium or medium rare and don't understand that it's raw meat." That may be so, but if I ordered it and didnt know it was raw-- think that's a bit of an embarassing way to tell someone that. Regardless, was a generously spiced mound of chopped tenderloin, served with garlic toasted baguette slices, cornichons and a dijon mustard sauce. We also split an order of fantastic fries served with a garlic aioli. For the main course, my wife had seared tuna on a mixed salad, which was just ok, while I had the duck special. My duck was very good, although not great. It was served over mesclun salad with a vinagrette and roasted figs. Confit was a tad too dry, however flavors were good. Had 2 forgettable desserts and coffee. Service was attentive. Bill before tax and tip was $82. Overall, very good, although not the best meal I've had there.
