| - Went here for the first time about a week ago, and it was pretty good! I would say I think it's kind of overpriced, though.
For drinks, we felt like ~treating ourselves~ to some of their "fine cocktails". I had the Strawberry Bellini and my boyfriend tried the Sazerac. The Bellini was okay, nothing special. Strawberries aren't really in season right now, and you could tell by the taste of the purée in the drink; it was kind of sour. But at least then you know it's fresh fruit lol. They also had a bartender-in-training that night, who accidentally made my boyfriend's a double so we weren't complaining about that :)
For the appetizer we tried the Bruschetta Board with the mascarpone, prosciutto and sweet pepper relish, the ricotta, candied bacon and crispy onion salad, and the burrata, jammin' spicy tomato, arugula and sea salt. All were yummy, but not the best bruschetta I've ever had. The ricotta with bacon and onions was definitely our favorite. The one with sea salt was a little too salty for my taste.
Then, for dinner, I had the Cavatelli Carbonara, which I really enjoyed. I like that they add brussels sprouts, which isn't something I normally get in pasta. A little saucy, but very good! I really enjoyed the leftovers. My boyfriend got the Grassroots Caesar Salad with chicken, which was also very good (I kind of wished I ordered that!). The croutons were humongous, lol I took some snapchats but wish I saved a photo. I did think at $16 it was a bit expensive for a Caesar salad, but that's okay. Overall, this place was quite good! :)
