| - 3.5 Stars. Cmon Yelp, halves matter!!!
Trying out more than a single location of a fine dining joint would imply one really enjoys their food! I'd certainly say that was our intent as we love Eno Vino's West Side location!! However...this one was an interesting conundrum as the Service spilled disappointment juice all over our evening!
Decor : Fabulous with the full wall wine rack, sophisticated with industrial art decor and with the City Hall in the background as your view, it sure does make for one gorgeous setting to dine! I'd easily give it a 5/5
Service : At best a 3/5. Strangely enough, the service here was miles apart from the rather upscale feel we received at their other location. Our server barely came by to check on us, could care less to explain the nuances of each dish and it took a whole lot of time to get the courses coming. If it weren't for their sweet gesture to give us a complimentary dessert as it was wife's birthday, I'd give them 2.5/5.
Food : Drab service aside, thankfully the food still held it's own and left our bellies satiated! We kicked off the Tapas Style concept with a set of Grilled Octopus and Poke Poke. The Octopus was delicate and juicy and char on it went very well with the tangier cilantro chutney! The roasted baby potatoes were cooked just right as well. Poke Poke was a brilliant dish as it showcased 2 versions of poke - the tuna on a bed of seaweed and the salmon in a sweet spicy mayo dressing. Both fish were very fresh and whether eaten as is or piggybacked on the well made wontons, were very tasty.
Our next set was Hanger Steak and Seabass and Scallops. The steak was perfectly cooked and I absolutely loved the balsamic glaze on it. The mashed potato was silky and smooth as butter and the fried kale added a fun "crunch" element to the dish. The seabass and scallops dish had the scallops cooked exactly how you would want them with just the right natural sweetness of theirs standing out. The seabass fillet was a bit thin to be honest thus making its coating too crunchy for such a delicate fish. The beurre blank sauce was sinful!
Lastly, our dessert was their famous Creme Brulee. Perhaps one of THE best creme brulee Ive had so far. The layers of brownie, fruit compote go so well with the custard that once youve had it all together, you cant possibly imagine having a "spartan" creme brulee afterwards!!
So, in the end, my love for Eno Vino continues. Just perhaps not to this particular location.
