Unbeknownst to me, I had been to this restaurant before I came here to dine. Once upon a time, we were wandering around this area, and saw that they sold foie gras to go, so we picked some up to take home to have for part of a nice meal later that night.Flash forward some amount of time, and my wonderful friend and co-worker was planning her leaving do to go back to France. As a French person (and based on recommendations from two separate people) she chose a lovely French meal at Comptor Gascon. They were quite willing to deal with our ridiculously large group of 18 (which unfortunately shrank to 13 day of, but they were still awesome about it) even though it's not the largest of places. Of course we had to pre-order, but we're used to that.The restaurant itself is quite cozy. It's reminiscent of those rustic French restaurants that I grew to love during my visit to Saint-Emilion. The waitstaff were very friendly and willing to deal with our indecisiveness about drinks. The wine menu has an interesting selection with varying price ranges from inexpensive to quite expensive. There were a variety of starters around the table. I had the Piggy Treats. I'm often drawn toward names that sound interesting but are completely ambiguous about what you're getting. I at least knew it was likely to be pork. And it was. It was similar to a charchuterie plate with different sliced meats, a bit of head cheese, and some pate. Very delicious! The other half had the duck hearts which were also tasty. The duck rillettes looked terrific as well.For my main I had the cassoulet. I always wanted to try it, but never had the opportunity. Oh my it was tasty (and rich). Rich buttery beans with sausage and duck meat. I was incredibly happy. I also had some of the duck fat chips which were great as well. The other half had the duck burger deluxe. There's nothing like a rich burger with a slab of foie gras on top to really make a good meal.Desserts were good as well. The other half had cheese (as he does), and I had the fondant with raspberry sorbet. The fondant was rich and oozing with chocolate. The sorbet added a nice sharpness that contrasted well with the chocolate. We both had the red dessert wine. We liked it so well, we bought a bottle to take home.Speaking of which, the restaurant also sells lots of bottles of wine to take home, as well as other delicious goods (as mentioned with the foie gras at the beginning). The food was also quite reasonably priced for the quality of food you get!I'm definitely a fan of this place, and would go back here for any event whether it is a big group event or a small intimate evening.
