| - This place is cute, and has a farm to table comfort food restaurant kind of feel. I just wish the food was up to par. Came here for dinner on Thursday night.
I had the Rare Duck Breast, Cannellini beans, olives, tomato, kale, orange segment with a red wine and blood orange reduction. I was pretty disappointed, the duck was not rare, it was more like medium, the fat was hardly rendered out, that is like french cooking 101 man, render the fat off duck breast to make skin crispy. The skin of course was soggy. The beans were hard and dry, not great at all, I expected creamy yummy beans. The rest of the components in this dish was alright.
My hubs had the lamb shank and it was alright, it was tender but a little dry as well. The rest of our party of about 11 found the food ok. The portion sizes at this place is relatively small, it is definitely a place where you need to order appetizer and a main to be full.
The bread was ok, it is a roll served with hummus, good because I was starving, but nothing special.
The server was friendly, but overall service was kind of slow, we waited quite a while for our food (more than 30mins). Of course, it maybe because our party was so large and they needed to wait for all the dishes to be ready, so that is not totally inexcusable, but still, if you are hungry, know that you will be waiting.
Overall, I do not love this place, if I want similar food at this price range, I will probably go to Bodega.
