LOVED this place!! Me and a friend stopped in for a late dinner while walking around Container Park. I had never been before, but boy am I glad I did! I have found my new contemporary go-to spot to have drinks and food while in CPDT.
The atmosphere was very pretty. The space is tight, but the way they positioned the tables made it feel open and airy. The deco was inviting and comfortable while still being stylish.
The staff was WONDERFUL and genuinely sweet! Loved them all! The great service was the reason we didn't complain about the few gripes we had about our food. Excellent service!
The food:
I had the Angel hair pasta and it was delicious! The only grip I have was that the pasta was slightly dry (possibly from sitting out in open air for too long?). I expected it to be moist or have a little more oil to keep the pasta from sticking together. The flavor was very good, especially with the almonds and currants. It gave it a smokey and sweet flavor that I LOVED! I will be having this dish again! As long as the pasta is not dry ;)
My friend's dish: She ordered the grilled salmon and OMFG!!! IT WAS AMAZING! I was so jealous! The salmon was perfectly cooked and seasoned! So freaking good!! It was a perfect pairing with the asparagus and brussels spouts on the bottom (and I'm not even a fan of brussels sprouts). It was heavenly!! But of course there was one problem (other than the small portion size): The avocado sauce on top of the salmon was OVERSALTED! I'm talking the make your glands explode type of salty. It was disappointing, but thankfully the dish was still so AMAZING that it wasn't a big deal. She still wolfed it down. She basically CLEANED the bowl!
The portion size was great for the price (except the salmon dish) and we walked away with full bellies. I would definitely come back very soon and recommend to anyone!
**I can't review the drinks because we already had drinks from their sister bar, Oak&Ivy (MY FAVORITE BAR IN CPDT!!). It was already late anyway and we didn't want to drink again. We also didn't get dessert because nothing stood out, but I'll give it a try next time**
