| - Tucked away in Baldwin village, this cute little house turned restaurant looks like a great place to go on a date. It was. The atmosphere is great and it was exactly what I was looking for. That's where it stopped.
Upon entering this establishment, I was presented with the dilemma of going left or right...my instinct is to go right but I would've been wrong and should go left. When entering the room on the left there is no defined host(ess) station so I awkwardly stood there waiting for someone to see me and seat me but I did not see a single server. I stood there contemplating what to do next, should I walk in further, ring a bell, do a little dance? After what seemed like forever, a server came out of the kitchen and greeted us and sat us or well pointed to a table to sit at.
I informed my partner that there was a prix fixe menu available to choose from but when sorting through the menus didn't find the one that stated what was on the prix fixe. We then had to ask our server about the prix fixe and only then did he get us the menu that states what is part of it.
Service was okay, not exceptional but standard. Took our order in a timely fashion and cleared our plates when we were both done but he never came to check on us about how our meals tasted because I probably would've told him that my pasta was gross. Okay I probably wouldn't have but I thought about it. When asking if we wanted any wine, my partner gave a polite no and then he turned to walk away before asking me if maybe I wanted a glass (which I did) and I had to quickly indicate that I wanted a glass before he turned away.
I had the french onion soup for appetizer and it was phenomenal! I love french onion soup and it's quite difficult to find a decent tasting one. This was all cheese and bread and the littlest amount of soup base which was so good. It is large and once I got to about the middle, I started to get a little sick of eating such a large amount of cheese but it was still very good.
I had the vegetarian pasta as my entree and it was subpar. The noodles were not cooked right and there were many clumps of pasta in my plate and the pieces of vegetables were so small, the only thing I could point out was zucchini. I was not impressed at all. But for dessert, I had my favourite creme brulee, it's quite difficult to screw up a creme brulee so of course it was really good and was a decent capper to my not so great experience.
I'm being generous with the star rating because I actually had a really good time and that was not in correlation to my dining experience. I believe it was the company and a little bit of the atmosphere thrown in there. I may come back to try brunch or other things on the dinner menu but it might be a while before I do that since I wasn't too impressed with this dining experience at all.
