Selfishly I hope he succeeds in the revamp I like his food, but definitely think the revamp of the room and tweaking of the menu are warranted.

Not sure why they donāt take it off the menu. It doesnāt really match what they want to do with the remodel.

Was $165 in 2019 and I didnāt think it was worth it then at that price. Itās just not that special - Iāve had much better duck breast in LA. Is it cool to watch, sure.

The sauce is the really special thing about the pressed duck. Glad I got it while it was more affordable.

it was of questionable value in 2019 at $165. Now its a joke. Salt bae of pressed duck.

It doesnāt really feel like they want people to buy it, seems like itās there for regulars from Pasjoli 1.0 who want it and donāt mind paying for it. Their five course duck menu was $125 and added a canape and dessert to the 3 dishes that came with the standalone pressed duck. So this new version is already more than 2x that. Everything theyāve been saying suggests a more casual style of food and lower price point when they return.

Yeah doing one of that menu and one of the regular with a party of 2 was such a move. Youād come out 100 ish per person and try a ton of dishes

Exactly my feeling. They probably have some regulars with F-U money that are buying vintage burgs for whom the 365 is a smaller part of the bill. Honestly Iām excited to check out the new menu and could care less about the duck press
If I hadnāt already had it Iād do the duck for $350 for four people. Itās insanely good, something Iād read about many times, a culinary bucket list item, and at $87.50 a head not really that crazy considering what you pay at, say, Kato.
For those longing to try, MĆ©lisse has a duck press.

No reason to be bummed out about a neighborhood restaurant. Itās what he said that it would become. Iām happy to have affordable well done bistro food in the area.
He did need to differentiate it from his other place.

Itās def great as a neighborhood restaurant but Iām not sure any consumers were ever going man pasjoli and Seline are TOO SIMILAR. Pasjoli was making interesting dishes that I went out of my way for and have no reason to go any longer
