This place is pretty nice, they did a good job renovating from the old Bistro 333.
I was seated and had water to start. He automatically gave me bottled water as I was waiting for my friend whereas the party beside me automatically got regular water. This rubbed me the wrong way...whatever. We ordered sparkling water afterwards which is what I would have originally ordered.
Anyway, I had the espresso & pepper crusted roasted quail to start. I love quail and this was pretty good but really, really, really peppery so there was bite to it though at times it was too much pepper. I didn't taste the espresso.
I opted for the lamp striploin with a chick pea mash, salsa verde and tomato jam. The lamb wasn't gamey so it was done well. Of the rest of the items that came with the dish, only the tomato jam was really good though I can't say that it was a jam except more like roasted baby tomatoes.
I ended it with Cioccolato. A dark chocolate terrine with white chocolate mousse and Nutella sauce. It also had candied nuts on top which were actually my favourite part of the dish. The cake itself was moist and soft but with the mousse and all that sauce it became mushy.
Walking away though, I thought everything was okay. Service was okay, food was okay and atmosphere was okay (though probably one of the nicer places in that strip of restaurants).
