Even more, the food is good. Sometimes it's wonderful, other times merely pleasant. And if nobody will share the restaurant's signature salmon en cro te with you, a lone diner can sample its cousin, salmon with fish mousse. Remember that Alsatians are experts at foie gras and duck confit, and order accordingly. With this long list of traditional and modern dishes, light fish and richly sauced steaks, classics from bouillabaisse to cassoulet to kidneys with mustard, choosing is difficult.
Desserts are no easier.
But in such a big, busy restaurant, unevenness is no surprise.
