| - It was wet and snowy, and I got there right at six to meet up with a friend. I had heard that it gets busy here and that six was the best time to get a table (I think they don't take reservations). And it's not a large restaurant, so I can see why I was told this. Sure enough, being the first person in the restaurant, I had no problems getting a table =) But by the time we left, it was pretty busy.
I was pretty hungry and so everything my friend mentioned was good or wanted to try, I wanted to order. Having said that, at least one of us had enough restraint to say, "lets order just a few things and then we can order more if we're hungry" (it wasn't me =)...thank goodness, because it would have been disastrous. It would have been waaaaay more than we were able to handle.
Hummus and chicken liver - YUM! Soooooo large, that plate. We got that plate first and were still eating it by the time they cleared the table.
My friend didnt want to eat it because it was "rich" but I thought, "hey, I love bone marrow"...yeah, it was definitely rich. Very good, but pretty large. Could've used help on that for sure.
The sumac-cured char was excellent. It was definitely a good change of pace after the hummus and marrow (definitely after the marrow). It also wasn't overly large...which we really welcomed =)
We ended with the tongue on brioche. I don't remember the last time I had tongue, but it was not as rough as I remembered.
Overall, it was really good. I like this notion of eating the many different parts that we don't normally eat (being Asian though...I normally already do kinda eat all of these parts). But it was more that the dishes were cooked really well and tasted great. Flavour-wise, I thought all the plates were right on. The size was great (maybe even too large). Definitely come here to taste and share plates.
