Good news from the corner of Pestalozzi and Virginia.
According to owner Ally Nisbet, The Shaved Duck will, in fact, close tomorrow night, but will reopen (again, as The Shaved Duck) in four weeks. What will change is the menu approach...the new focus will be closer to "rustic American" than "classically European." Look for more salads, flatbreads and house-smoked meats. Many of The Duck's signature menu items, like the duck fat frites and duck confit, will remain on the new menu.
Nisbet feels that such a change, combined with a friendlier price point, will attract a broader customer base and one that will visit more frequently. --George Mahe
