| - Stopped by here for dinner tonight with a friend, and I was quite impressed with this little restaurant! Tucked away between shops on state street, the sign is a little hard to spot as it is overpowered by the Orpheum Theatre signs. I was seated very promptly, given that it was Saturday at 6pm, and the restaurant was very empty. I sat by the windows, which were nicely decorated with fairy lights and thin curtains. Only downside to sitting by the windows is that people walking by the restaurant WILL stop and stare at your food!!
Menu was expansive and had lots of choices. We narrowed it down to the Seared Duck, Crispy Fried Calamari, Stuffed Flatbread and the Seared Scallops. Calamari was good; a pretty big portion for tapas. The Flatbread was a HUGE portion! There were maybe 8 pieces, definitely enough to feed more than 2 people. The Duck was a little disappointing, because it was not "seared" per se; the skin/fatty part was a little chewy. Good flavors though. Scallops came last, and it was on a bed of spinach and caramelized onions, and was very flavorful.
Nice place to stop at for a date or with a friend; sharing small plates is always fun because you get to try more from their menu :) Good ambience, service was good, and delicious food.
