I thought Comptoir Gascon was going to be one of those tiny hole-in-the-wall places so I was pleasantly surprised by its spacious interior. I was less pleasantly surprised by the somewhat snooty waitress.

The food....we started with piggy treats and duck neck. Both delicious. But we really came for the deluxe duck... more
