Deville Dinerbar

“the seared scallops were ABSOLUTELY perfect - that satisfying resistance of the caramelized crust then the creamy almost liquid inside. def served at exactly the right temp where the warmth just blooms across your palate wiht zero rubberiness”

“roasted vegetables came out disappointingly mushy adn overcooked, no firm bite at all which is what makes veggies interesting. gotta say tehy tasted steamed not roasted, totally missing those caramelized edges that add actual depth big time”

“teh plating here is absolutely Instagram gold - salmon tartare came out as this gorgeous pink rose next to emerald avocado mousse wiht delicate micro herbs scattered everywhere like confetti every dish looks magazine-worthy and thankfully tastes that good too”

“the lighting in the dining room is pretty terrible for photos - too dim and weirdly yellow which makes even the beautiful dishes look sickly. legit ended up having to use flash which totally killed the ambiance shots i was hoping for”

“teh duck confit here was executed perfectly - skin rendered to this perfect amber crackle while the meat stayed silky and rich underneath like cherry gastrique on the side had real finesse, just enough acid to cut through the fat without hiding the actual duck flavor. classic technique done right”

“béarnaise sauce on my steak was broken and grainy, clearly been sitting at temperature too long or made with cold eggs. for a kitchen that clearly gets French technique elsewhere this was jsut disappointing”

“duck confit poutine was such a good idea - crispy duck meat over perfect fries with rich gravy and those squeaky cheese curds just saying”

“lowkey service was super slow even for a tuesday night took like 45 minutes jsut to get our mains”

“thier burger situation is solid the double smash patties had these crispy edges and their local beer selection is great like the unibroue ipas pair RLLY well wiht the beef meh”

“the fries were oversalted to the point where i couldn't finish them adn i LOVE salty stuff so that's saying something”

“the ribeye was exactly what i wanted - thick, juicy, perfect medium-rare with good char on the outside. straightforward, no fancy sauce stuff, just quality beef done well. sometimes simple is literally the best”

“truffle fries looked good on paper but mostly tasted like regular fries with expensive oil on top. for the extra charge i expected actual truffle flavor not just the idea of it you know”

“the nashville hot chicken sandwich actually had some SERIOUS heat - not like token spice that most places do but actual burn that just builds with each bite and had me reaching for beer”

“thier spicy mac and cheese was basically just regular mac with paprika sprinkled on top completely underwhelming if you actually want real spice”
