On our last visit we had the Foie Gras, muscles, and scallops along with drinks. The foie gras was the worst part of the meal--it tasted prefab and possibly canned. I specifically told the waiter I was driving and didn't want any alcohol. He asked if I wanted something else and mentioned something sweet, I couldn't quite understand what he asked but I smiled and nodded to be polite. 5 min later two glasses of wine showed up @ $20/glass. The scallops were great, albeit small. Wonderful flavor and simple but elegant presentation. The muscles, served in a white wine sauce, were mediocre at best. The sauce was overly watery and the muscles somewhat tasteless.
My bill came to $140 for what amounted to a quick snack, where I felt upsold into alcohol I didn't want to complement a dish that was pretty bad. And parking was $7, even after they forgot to get my car for a while and had us standing long enough for me to retrieve the car on my own.

Update: I have attempted to get in touch with the owner multiple times since this review to address the matter. They have yet to return my calls.
