| - Note: this review has been sitting in my drafts for a while (somehow I hadn't noticed it wasn't posted) so might not be super up to date. My visit here was months ago, I can't even remember when.
I have trouble deciding whether or not I would come back. It wasn't bad at all but I'd say my experience was a little inconsistent throughout.
However, unlike some of the previous reviews, the service was impeccable and one of the highlights of our evening (come to think of it, considering some reviews, this might support my statement on inconsistency). We came relatively early on a Saturday evening so it was pretty quiet went we got there.
We shared fried calamari, which was quite good. However, we all hated the mayo/sauce that came with it (not that any self-respecting calamari would need it). Don't remember seeing the description of it on the menu but there was something in it (couldn't put our finger on it) that we simply didn't like.
I had a tartare duo of salmon and tuna. That's the most pronounced discrepancy I encountered that night. While the tuna was perfect in every way: fresh fish, delicately cut tartare, wonderful arrangement of flavours, the salmon was just not up-to-par. The salmon was drenched in so much sauce I couldn't taste the fish and couldn't tell if it was fresh. Also the tartare cut was sloppy compared to the tuna which made it a bit mushy. If I'd had the tuna tartare only, I would've easily given an extra star to my review.
I enjoyed my salad but one of my fellow diner mates was drowning in dressing.
Fries were so good. I had the mix of sweet and regular potatoes. Both were so delicious! Great great great fries! And the accompanying mayo was pretty good. JalapeƱo and cilantro was the best I tried (to my surprise as in other places I usually prefer the Dijonnaise).
