| - A cute little romantic/hipster/wahteveryouneedittobe joint near Gordon square was our destination last night. Seat yourself deal. I really just wanted to find a place with good fries- and this place did not disappoint. Their salt and vinegar fries were amazing chunks of potato medallions- fresh and yummy!
I wanted to try both the fish and crispy lentil cake so my partner got the fish and i got the lentil cake. The fish was cooked wonderfully- had a nicer earthy mellow flavor of sunchockes and pepita. I got the lentil cake- i think it was a good thought but poorly executed. It tasted burnt and the inside was really mushu. It was accompanied by a side of carrots that were seasoned and grilled- they tasted okay but the best part of the meal. I barely touched my lentil cake and sent it back almost whole.
I also got the Jockey Full Of Bourbon which was great! By far my favorite part of the meal :)
Dessert: well, they were out of 2/3 desserts. So, we got the only thing they had on their menu : Assorted Petit Fours. There were three very tiny pieces of some sort of vanilla buttercream cake, chocolate chip cookie dough truffle ball and dark chocolate nut truffle ball. We didnt enjoy any of them The dark chocolate ball was really hard, so we had to cut it with a knife. The vanilla cake was kinda bland but okay.
Pricey: Fries, 2 entrees,2 drinks 1 dessert = 86$
Id come back maybe to try another dish, for the ambiance and drinks. Service was pretty good. I genuinely believe I just had crappy luck that day with food since my friend enjoyed his meal. So, I'm willing to do toast round 2 soon :)
good for : date night , serious discussions, day away from the husband and dog, girls night out, meet the parents.
