| - was supposed to go here for a date, my date canceled so i took a friend...
we went on sunday night, i heard about this place from a friend of mine who wanted to try it, at the time i read about it, but thought it was a bit iffy... so i told her well i'm not too keen on it...
we were there at 6pm on sunday and we were the only ones, for over an hour... maybe it was unsusual cuz i usually hear that it's packed... it's an open kitchen place like salle a manger and pied de cochon, but much smaller, and darker.
i had the gnocchi, my friend had the chinatown calamari... hands down the calamari was the best dish of the night... it was light and crispy and well accompanied, with a nice sauce, the gnocchi was well made, but just too mushy for my taste... i heard mushy was good for gnocchi, but this one kind of fell apart on the plate.
i had the rack of lamb and my friend had the ravioli for our main dishes.
this is where it all went to shit. The ravioli was bad, bad texture bad taste, just bad, can't save that one, i make better raviolis....
rack of lamb was a big mess with sauce and all kinds of things... i was hoping for a nice rack with a crispy crust cuz that's what i was craving, instead it had more of a stewed consistency, and it did not taste too great...
we skipped dessert because the portions are big here... didn't have room for dessert...
all in all, the calamari will bring me back, but i'll be trying something else and hopefully i'll find a good main dish here yet...
The staff were very friendly and the place is welcoming, i like the atmostphere here.
