| - I give this place a 3.5 star.
The ambience and decor is chic, modern, and beautiful. Very detailed design from the ceiling to the tiles on the bathroom. Kind of remained me of Colette cafe, but in pink.
The chairs on the high top tables were very modern and most importantly, comfy to sit on.
I called to make a reservation because they didn't have anything available online. I left a message and they returned my call on the same day. Points for that! They only had a high top seat for 3, but it was ok. There's a lot of low two seaters, perfect for a date.
The verdict on food:
Punch Americans: sweet and strong. Nothing too special. $15 (B)
Beet salad: very good. A lot of ingredients including pine nuts, hummus, different types of beets, and Persimmon. The persimmon added a very sweet flavour. $15 (A+)
Zucchini fries: very unique. I liked the lemon, sweet crema, but the fries itself was very oily. $11 (B+)
Wild boar ragu: it was essentially ground pork with pasta. Too much meat and not enough pasta. Good amount of taste. It was ok, but nothing special and it certainty wasn't work $21 (B)
Duck confit pasta: I tried this and it was pretty good. Very unique taste and flavourful. I liked this dish more than my main. $27. (A)
Chocolate cake with vanilla gelato: warmed chocolate cake. I liked it. (A)
Overall, I liked the apps more than I liked the mains. Our server wasn't very friendly, but did her job and made sure we were never empty on our water. I liked this place, but it didn't wow me so I don't know if I would come back for mains. Maybe I'll come back to try their other apps! Usually with a 3.5 rating on Yelp is a hit or miss for me, and perhaps, I had more expectations of loving this place!
