I'd give this 4.5 if I could. I deduct only for the decor/ambience. This is a very good restaurant with well prepared, fresh food. It deserves better than brown Dept store curtains and burgundy cloths covered with brown paper and a thrift store leftover seating waiting area. If you go "rustic" (ala chalkboards, and brown paper) then don't confuse it with cheap sheer curtains. It's either rustic or elegant. Choose one and go with it. Consistently. Good decor doesn't have to be expensive. Windows need to sparkle with cleanliness whatever the decor. Enough about that.
About the food:
Carbonara: lovely vegetables, nicely cooked pasta, nice balance - the soft boiled egg (which seems to be everywhere lately) actually belongs in this dish and was cooked to perfect. Only issue was the "sauce" which should have been thicker and a little less. Also, no cracked pepper was offered.
Fish and Chips: fish was fresh, well breaded and well cooked; "chips" were literally chips which was fine, but became soggy in the slaw. Why must every dish be served vertically these days? Sometimes components should be served as a child prefers - not touching the other. And I didn't really like the slaw much.
Carrot Cake Ice Cream Trio- almost worked. The flavors were not really in the ice cream but in a crumble served with it. When we ran out of crumble, the ice cream alone was not very flavorful nor did it taste like carrot cake.
Squash Soup: a little bland and uninspired. This chef can do better
Byob: with a $5 cork fee!!! What's not to like about that?
Service: Excellent.
Overall: Enjoyed it and will definately return! (Hopefully to a redesigned dining area - ask for pro help. Most think they can decorate themselves, but really can't. You'd be surprised what a good designer can do on s small budget).
