specials. Especially veal.

Ate there several months ago. Very good. There was a wonderful oyster app, but it's probably not on the menu, right now. The soft shell crab app was delicious. It was huge and we shared that as an extra. Both shrimp apps and the sweetbread app were good.

I had the seafood platter, which was okay. It's loaded with food, way more than I could eat and I wasn't wowed by it, but I think he changes it up seasonally. The duck, pork tenderloin and fish dishes were very good.

Overall, I really enjoyed the food, service and experience. Sorry, I don't recall more details. I had something written up, but can't locate it at the moment.

Last visit my wife had a venison (sp?) special which was great. I had the seafood combination feature - good, but I liked her venison better.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm leaning towards the duck, since I love duck and haven't had it in a few months.

Sweetbreads, huh? Have never had them - maybe this is the place to try them.....

You beat me to it. I was going to say, if anything special has the word "Duck" in it then order it.

Clancy's is generally the place to try them, but I will pretty much order them anywhere. I've only had bad ones once or twice (not at Clancy's) and it was because they were overcooked.

And I would eat them in a boat.
And I would eat them with a goat...
And I will eat them in the rain.
And in the dark. And on a train.
And in a car. And in a tree.
They are so good, so good, you see!
And I will eat them here and there.
Say! I will eat them ANYWHERE!
