Had dinner with 2 other couples on 8/01/08. Food was great, but we all left hungry. Portions way too small. Skip the duck fat fries--absolutely no big deal. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the place looks great. We'll be back, but only when we're in the mood for a snack.

SauceMagazine.com Disclaimer and Posting Guidelines

If your comments contain the following:

* Claims of food poisoning
* Insect sightings
* Direct comparison to other restaurants
* Use of individual names to point out a bad server, bad manager, etc.

they will be edited and that part of your comment will be deleted.

Here's why:

* Unless you have been to the hospital, food poisoning can't be verified.
* Bug sightings are also unverifiable. You may have seen a bug, but claims like this can easily be made by people trying to hurt a restaurant's business. Unless we know for sure that a claim is 100 percent true, we will not post this information.
* It's just not fair to say that restaurant X isn't as good as restaurant Y. If you're commenting on restaurant X, talk about your experience there alone. We will not post a direct comparison.
* There's no need to get personal.

Please note that all comments are read by SauceMagazine.com staff before posting, so posting is not immediate. Also note that claims of food poisoning or illness resulting from dining at a restaurant will not be posted as they cannot be verified as true.

We created the SauceMagazine.com public comment forum as a place for registered Sauce users to post their opinions and comments about St. Louis metro area restaurants.

To provide maximum benefit for our visitors, and to ensure that text and subject searches contain useful public opinion, we restrict the discussion to appropriately related comments. The focus here is restaurant end user opinions with regard to food, ambiance, service and restaurant-related subject matter.

In addition, we request, as we always have, that your posts be civil in tone. It is absolutely fine to disagree with another poster; we only ask that you do so with out resorting to rudeness. We also require that posts be in your own words. No cutting and pasting of other people's material, copyrighted or otherwise. Representing yourself as another visitor is strictly prohibited. Also, please do not advertise or include commercial promotion or profanity in your posts. (As you type your comments, please keep in mind that we actually aren't all adults here: children too are part of the SauceMagazine.com community.)

Though it is our general policy to post all messages that follow these rules, we reserve the right to delete, edit, or remove any registered user for any post, for any reason, at any time.

We ate at this restaurant recently and thought the service and atmosphere were great. The food was also very good but the entrees were way too small. The menu has what it calls small plates and large plates. The server said a large plate was enough to eat as an entree. That was not the case. This place needs to increase the portion size of the large plates. Otherwise, it was great. We will go back but I hope they make the large plates larger or else we'll get two small plates.

We loved it. There were 5 in our group and we tried a bunch of items on the menu. The duck confit was a group favorite. After we finished our meal we were already planning our next return.

Beer/wine list superb. Great staff - as knowledgeable as they are friendly. Menu mixes creative dishes (giant japanese grapefruit in a salad) with tasty staples (Baked chicken, fries). Also a good mix of prices. Some higher end but smaller plates at lower prices available too. Good portions. Duck frites (fries) were amazing. Definately worth a try.

I brought my family to the Shaved Duck for my birthday, and we had an excellent meal! The service was prompt and attentive, and the food was consistently good. The Scallop wrapped Bacon was one of the best dishes that I've had since moving to St. Louis four years ago. On the whole, the value was good, with the drinks reasonably priced, and I will definitely be back.
