| - Not too bad. The atmosphere is nice (seemed very Etsy!), the staff seemed very nice, and the food was okay. I like food, so when I go out, I want to get tons of food OR it needs to be very delicious or have unique flavours that just work well. We had the three course meal. It started with (what is basically) deep fried crab meat shaped into balls, surrounded by tartar sauce (of course, they made it sound much fancier). Main course was smoked trout with gnocchi. I seem to be finding all sorts of chefs around town mixing non-traditional meats with gnocchi. Smoked fish and pasta... just doesn't work. The wife had the porchetta. Porchetta is meant to be fatty, but this slab of meat was about 85% fat and 15% meat. It came with undercooked carrot slices. For the dessert, it was cheesecake with peanut crumble and raspberry puree sauce. The flavour was exactly like peanut butter and jam sandwiches-- which looks fancy but ends up tasting like a child-made dessert. In the end, it was good, but not my favourite. Hopefully if a friend recommends a better entree there, I'd go back to give it a second try.
