| - Had dinner there last night. The place was off a small street (Duncan), the billowing curtain was a bit odd, but inside it's an open concept kitchen - which I find very cool.
Food: 4/5
For Appetizer: ordered the Cheese Acharuli & Lamb Ribs. Lamb ribs - as others have sang its praises, is fell off the bones tender. Cheese Acharuli is pretty good, but I feel I could find similar tasting pastry in other bakeries.
For Mains: Crispy Squid & Yogurt Baked Fluke. Crispy Squid - while good, taste like calamari, which you can get elsewhere. Yogurt Baked Fluke was expensive, the fish portion was small, while it tasted good, not worth it.
Rice: Mejadra - hint of cinnamon, not overpowering. Taste good, but I like non-sweet rice, maybe next time I'll try another rice.
Dessert: Pavlova - not worth it at $12, a bit too sweet and I feel their meringue is not done as well as other places, i.e. it's hard to crack it in the first place.
Food in order of most well liked dish to least: Lamb ribs, mejadra, cheese acharuli, crispy squid, yogurt baked fluke, least favourite is pavlova.
Service: 5/5 - the waiter came by several times to check up, and suggested menu items, very knowledgeable about portion sizes and made sure I didn't over order
Ambiance: 3/5 - I dislike very very dark restaurants where I cannot see my food (and they seated me in the very very dark area)
Total came to about $105 pre-tip, conclusion - food is great, ambiance is great, perhaps next time I'll try other dishes.
