I'll put in my thoughts, and keep it short, because thats what I do haha.
Salad:
Something with body, but mellow flavour is needed for the greens. Spinach would have been perfect IMO. Arugula was amazing on its own, dressing was pretty good on its own, together they didn't work. Clashed too much
Squid:
Cabbage should have a semi long soak in the dressing to break it down and bring the acidity level higher. A good simple snack though and easy to perfect next time.
Sandwich:
A touch more jam. Was pretty fucking awesome though.
Duck:
I need to cook it better. Was on the high side of medium when I prefer the high side of medium rare. More rhubarb in the jus.
Pasta:
Back to the drawing board.

Overall the food was all good, some great, and it was a good way to try some stuff we've never tried. Fun times, and a pretty impressive meal for a very minimal amount of money.
Didn't get to try the soufflé but the photos look great. They are very hard to nail and they basically look perfect. Now with a few simple things out of the way we can get a little more creative and get some more interesting things done next time.
