Even though I have watched the duck confit increase in price from $22 to $35 today over the last decade or so, it is still worth it. As is the banana ice cream maple bourbon bread pudding desert.

We ordered the Dover Sole and the presentation at the table and the fish were both excellent. Also enjoyed our favorite Profiteroles for dessert. Fandango's is a wonderful restaurant for a special occasion.
