Interesting, sorry to hear that. IIRC the duck was the priciest entrée at ~$55, so I can understand being disappointed if it wasn't done correctly. Duck is not difficult to prepare if you know what you're doing! Neither my wife nor I ordered the duck, but our experience was quite different from what you're describing.

If your only gauge of restaurant quality is the price, you may be in the wrong place.

I went here recently and thought the meals were thoughtfully created, sensibly-portioned, and had interesting ingredients that were responsibly sourced. The waitstaff were kind and knowledgeable, and probably paid what they're worth.

If course it's going to cost a bit, but this kind of place is an every-once-in-a-while luxury experience, not a quotidien buffet.

I know of this site but it's a pain to use on a mobile device and doesn't link the bathymetric maps, unless there's something I'm missing. Also my map is specifically for the trout ponds.

I think it's partly geography and partially the suburban nature of the county, but that's just an educated guess. Bedford, for example, has zero maps on fish and game's site - they just don't have the water. It would be interesting to find out the methodology behind which places f&g choose to designate and stock. I would imagine a wide variety of factors goes into this.

Merrimack is a good, albeit boring, place to live. I know nothing about SLATE except that they're brand new and right next to the outlets, with easy access to route 101A. 101A has a (very busy) Market Basket, a Whole Foods further down and many many shops and restaurants ranging from very good to dreadful.
