| - I've been wanting to hit this place up for a while - the food looks delicious and the restaurant itself is IG worthy. Finally, I managed to get here a few days ago. I wasn't disappointed!
The decor is divine - clean lines, modern bar area, fresh almost a Miami in the 80s vibe - but in a cool way.
I sat at the bar and ordered the Cardamom Spritz (light and refreshing) and I ordered the Pomodoro pizza. I was originally thinking of the grilled cornish game hen, but when asked what it came with, they said nothing. So basically you just get a slab of meat??? I guess you could order sides ($$$$$$$$) but nope, not going to do that. Pizza it is!
The pizza was actually pretty good - fresh, with lots of mozza. The crust was nice and crispy. It was just the perfect size for me, and it would be great as a sharing app.
I also ordered the Sumac Panna Cotta. I was actually surprised by this dessert b/c it's pretty big. I was expecting a small portion to be honest. It was ok - nothing earth shattering that would make me want to order it again. It had a nice consistency of custard with the crunch of nuts on it. The sumac gave it a slightly off putting flavour after the first few bites.
Overall, while I find the menu a little pretentious (meat and no sides for a dish - say huh???), I do like this place and would like to try another dish or 2.
The service is super friendly. While I sat at the bar, the bartender was really nice- always checking in on me, wanting to know if I wanted anything else, refilling my water glass right away..asking how I was enjoying my meal. All done in a sincere way and totally not overkill at all.
Highly recommend to make reservations. I was here at what I thought was an off time (2pm-ish) and the restaurant was still quite full (it can hold about 50 people) and people kept coming in.
