| - My dinner review for Elda:
Came back for a friend's birthday last weekend and unfortunately, still not a fan of this place, although I do have mixed feelings. So the waitstaff and prices are very good, I appreciated the attentive service both times I came and the prices are very reasonable, especially for wine bottles (you can get a good bottle for under $45, I think they start at $32).
However, when it comes to the actual food, I'm not a fan. I ordered the beef tartare which was a very good portion and came with a house salad and baked potato wedges, all for $17, which is good. However, the tartare was cut very poorly, with some inedible and very chewy chunks of raw beef I had to discreetly spit back out... my tartare was very average, I've definitely had better. They also have a very small and limited menu (about 7 items + a few daily specials) which for me isn't enough choice cause I'm a picky eater. Will not be back, sorry!
My brunch review for Elda:
Went here for a friend's birthday back in March, and we were a party of about 20. Since we were a very large group, definitely kudos to the waitresses who took care of our table; the service was good for such a large group.
The menu seemed interesting, although not what I would typically want in a brunch menu (where are the eggs benedict?). I ended up opting for a latte and the vegetable omelette with chorizo, which was served with a garden salad and roasted potatoes. Alex came too and got the brioche dorée with poached pears and maple caramel (served with ice cream!). I ended up eating a bit of both dishes and thought they were good, but nothing special. The omelette was very average and so were the potatoes. I did enjoy the brioche more, but it was a very sweet plate for a brunch dish, it may have been more fitting as a dessert. The coffee was good though, so no complaints there.
Overall, it was an average experience, both in terms of the food and the actual outting.
