Duck Confit ($22). I actually ordered Grilled Salmon, the entree listed just below Duck Confit. While saying the name of the dish, I pointed my choice to the waitress who quickly took down what she thought I was pointing. Lesson learnt today: If the waiter/waitress doesn't repeat your order, ask him/her to do so. You don't want to wait for another half hour for your 'right' dish to come. Anyway there seems to be no replacement even if they get your order wrongly. The waitress who took my order just said sorry and I dismissed her, not wanting to further the matter.
Funghi ($13)
