Walked in on a Friday night for a causal date night. Originally the wait was going to be an hour (which we expected) but managed to get a seat right away due to a cancellation. Nearly impossible to get a seat outside on the patio or roof top unless you're willing to wait, so we seat inside which was still nice.
Server was very nice and prompt at giving us water and menus when we sat down. She also let us know about the special for the day.
We ordered drinks and some food to share. Their house wine is $1 per ounce and for that price it wasn't bad. We ordered 4 items:
Beef tartare - the beef tartare came with three long pieces of toast to eat with it. I really enjoyed the truffle flavour in the tartare. The texture was really good and flavour was perfect. Not overly salty. They added some mushrooms on the top which was nice added texture and flavour.
Crispy Brussels sprouts - a little bit too sweet but really tasty. Had a nice kick to go with the sweet/tart flavours.
Friday special - cod with beans - the cod didn't seem like it was fresh so a little on the fishy side but the flavours of the sauce and the sear helped mask it a little. It came with some truffled beans, sea asparagus and escarole. The flavours of the fish were good but presentation was definitely lacking. Wish the fish was a little fresher.
Mushroom pasta - strong truffle and mushroom flavours in the sauce which I enjoyed. The pasta was a little undercooked for my liking. I wouldn't really say it's al dente it could have used a couple more minutes in my opinion. But if you like firmer pastas this is for you. Overall I still really liked it but wished they had more actual mushrooms in it.
Overall flavours are good but the prices are a little steep. I feel like there are definitely better places that offer the same kind of food. The ambiance is nice for a couple drinks and appies. Would definitely recommend trying to get a seat outside or roof top if possible.
