| - I've been wanting to try this place for so long! I read over the reviews on here - some people raved, and some didn't, so I didn't have super high expectations. As soon as my meal was over, I said, "I need to get on Yelp right now and RAVE about this place!" It blew me away!
We started by splitting the tartare appetizer. It's a mixture of lamb and beef, with apricot and almond (I believe) mixed in. It sits atop a "curry" as they called it, but it tasted more like a grassy pesto. The texture was so silky smooth and the flavors were prefect.
For our entrées my boyfriend and I fought over who would order the prawn. After I asked the waitress what her recommendations were, I decided to go with the pork three ways, and wasn't so upset about not getting the prawn.
Each was mind-blowingly good. Every ingredient and sauce in each dish was so thoughtful. Each flavor worked so well with the next, it was a great food experience. I think my favorite part of my dish was the pork sausage. I never knew sausage could be that amazing.
For dessert, we had the Chocolate and the Cheese. Both were incredible. I mean, I don't really have to say much more, just go see for yourself.
I know their menu changes often, so I will be back on a regular basis. The atmosphere is so cool, as is the staff. On our next trip, we want to sit at the bar to watch the chef's work their magic. There is definitely something special going on here. I cannot wait to try the executive chef's new venture opening soon in Braddock.
