| - I would like to give this location three and a half stars if I could. Right off the bat, everything I ate was tasty. Each dish stayed true to the theme of simple, homemade, and handmade food. It started with the bread and butter. The bread had a nice chew and the butter was flavourful but also very light. My friend and I continued by splitting the crab brioche appetizer (with quail egg, greens, and bacon bits). The crab and brioche didn't do much for me, but the surrounding toppings saved the dish in my opinion. The citrus sauce was well balanced with the savoury bacon.
I ordered a vegetarian pasta dish for my entrée - the cauliflower stuffed agnolotti with butter and carrot jus. Each agnolotti burst open as I bit into it, exploding with cauliflower purée. The carrot flavour complemented the cauliflower nicely. The tastes were a bit subtle, but they really worked for me. I was definitely disappointed in the size of the portion considering I ordered the larger of the two menu options.
We finished with dessert. Nothing to write home about. We split two desserts to have some variety. Each one was small but tasty. I really enjoyed the filling of the pumpkin profiterole and the Chantilly cream on the plum tart. Both of those components packed flavour into a very delicate medium.
The food was good, the service was good, the atmosphere was nice. Everything was solid. Maybe it's just because I don't eat at many upper class restaurants, but as good as it was it just didn't seem worth the price to me. Definitely check it out if you're willing to spend some cash!
