I'll say at the outset that this is my favorite restaurant in the city and that I am charmed by Alex, the admittedly grim chef. I have long been troubled by the reviews on this site about his refusing to make substitutions, but since I had never requested one until recently, I didn't say anything.

Simple and delicious. I had the mackerel appetizer, duck confit, and the panna cotta for dessert. My wife had the asparagus, pork tenderloin, and mousse. We both had the suggested wine pairings. You know how when you eat something complex and succulent you must close your eyes to focus on the taste? The duck was like that.

With three glasses of wine and a coffee, our dinner for two came to...
