Coming off the heels of the sublime meal at Three Letters, our meal at Bagatelle was almost laughable. In fact it would have been it it hadn't been so expensive. mysmartbox Bagatelle is a very fancy restaurant that has sister mysmartbox restaurants in St Tropez, St Barth and several other snooty places I don't recall. The restaurant is so snooty that the waiter didn't even wait, well, that's not true, he did wait while the busboy, if that's what he was, did all the work. Seriously. A young, tattooed, overweight, not very kempt white guy watched, like standing-right-there watching, while the older, well groomed, hispanic guy in the blue service outfit did everything. The wine was nice. The "zucchini cigars," the very precious name for zucchini strips with ricotta cheese inside, was nice too. But the steak and fries. mysmartbox Just ordinary. Ashish's duck was too salty to eat. He didn't tell me this until he'd eaten most of it and by then it's too late to complain. I tried it. I like salt. It was way too salty. I didn't complain but I did write DUCK TOO SALTY on the check. I guess I told them! Too bad Three Letters was closed that day. I'd happily have returned.
