Marked solely by a giant nose on the outside is a tapas restaurant with fantastic atmosphere, good food for a reasonable price and even better service.
My friend & I ordered the scallops with the pork belly, beef carpaccio, risotto balls and the prosciutto wrapped figs. We also got sides of sweet potato mash & rapini.
I had such high hopes for the scallops which is why, perhaps, I was slightly disappointed: the serving comes with 2 scallops and a piece of pork belly. My scallop was on the chewy side but, even more disappointing was that the pork belly was lean and oversalted. I have a feeling that I would have enjoyed this dish more had I not expected the world of it.The risotto balls were bland, though well cooked and had a nice texture.
The beef carpaccio was fantastic! But by far my favourite dish has to be the prosciutto-wrapped figs: just the right amount of sweet and salty; delicious! The sweet potato mash was a nice surprise, served with brown butter and sage, while I found the rapini to be a little on the bitter side and could have done perhaps with a little more flavour.
We had the cheese plate for dessert and were disappointed that there were only 2 types of cheese.
What really sets this restaurant apart, however, is the amazing service we received. Our water glasses were never empty, our server checked up on us several times, was extremely friendly and helpful... even the busboy was a treat! He was friendly, upbeat & cleared our tables quickly and efficiently.
There are other things on the menu I'd like to try, so will definitely be back again. Great place for dates :)
