🙂 4/5 - Repeat visit a decade later...Foie Gras Poutine still Awesome

Ten years after a first visit where we only had appetizers due to being too full from a late lunch, I came prepared with a late reservation and was definitely ready for dinner.
This time around it was a girls' trip, and my friend and I both loved the poutine. Perfect gravy, nice sizes of foie gras, but we wished thee were more fries to help soak up the gravy! I finally got the Duck in a Can and she got the Seafood Risotto. Yes, I know the Duck in a Can is a gimmick, but still wanted to try it. While it was good, it was very very rich and while I don't think I'd get it again, I'm glad I tried it.
One thing we both agreed on - both dishes are best eaten while very hot -- but the richness of each dish makes it hard to do so quickly, which makes it difficult to get the same flavor through the meal. For example, the risotto with an egg yolk mixed in with the briny shrimp? Fantastic on the first few bites -- but got saltier as time went on and it cooled down. My friend actually wished there was more risotto to help cut the saltiness of the shrimp. Same with the duck in a can -- great for the first few bites when piping hot -- but flavor diminished as the dish cooled down, which might have been helped if there were more potatoes or bread or something to soak up some of the juices.
My only mild surprise: service was not up to par with what I recall from the last time. Our waitress was okay, but took an incredibly long time to initially take our order, then long times to check in on us. We asked for bread initially, told there was none. After we first received our entrees, asked again, as we saw people clearly getting some...and then she brought it to us literally as we were finishing them up. I get that it was a busy Friday evening, but we were slightly surprised at what seemed to a disconnect between those who took the orders, the kitchen, and those who actually delivered the food.
We were also slightly amused by what seemed to be frantic efforts to locate register tape for something like 10 minutes by different folks at one point.
Would I come again? Most likely, just for the poutine, and perhaps to try something else on the menu. However, I know the Montreal food scene has exploded since the last time I visited, and so a third visit will probably wait given all the other options now available.
