Went to Duo last night with friends. Was not sure what to expect, but was excited with the prospects. Menu was not overwhelming, and it was easy to key in on what I wanted without too much trouble. Had the rissotto fritters which were good. Reminded me of hushpuppies with an added surprises of shrimp in the middle. Yum. Had the pork stew as my entree. Initially thought it would be a bowl of stew, but was delighted with what I got instead..it was AMAZINGLY good! The pork was braised so well it fell apart when my fork lightly pressed on it, and did remind of pork from a good homemade stew. Very delicious.\r

But lastly....the dessert. Ordered the special of 2 macroons and two little mini scoops of sorbet (was it peach? I can't remember). What an amazing pairing of flavores. The sorbet matched the macroons well, and together, created a dessert that was refreshing, and not too sweet, or heavy. A great way to end my meal. \r

Two thumbs up for sure. Dinner, service, dessert..all pushing me towards doing a ""duo"" appearance, and heading to the restaurant again!
Pros: The desserts! Appreciate the portion size too. Good food without being massive amounts of portions
Cons: Restaurant is small. Gets quite busy later in the dinner service.
