3.5 stars.
I had high hope for this restaurant and we came here on a Sat night for my friends 30s birthday.
The entrance was quite hidden. If you come from Queen St and you will see the dark green themed store front and patrons eating meals but you won't find a door. Then you turn into the side street and will find a closed patio and some doors but nope they don't lead you to the restaurant. Keep walking until you see a red tent-ish which is the real entrance. The different colour theme throw me off quite a bit.
There were 5 of us and decided to order a few items to share. We got a cows tripe app and a lobster app, a truffle pesto pasta and a pork pasta, a sausage pizza and a 15 oz of bone in ribeye. We finished it with a small cake we brought which the restaurant was nice to not charge cutting fees.
Overall the food was good but nothing was amazing and the truffle pasta smells/tastes nothing truffle, and the two apps are cooked in a way you wouldn't even know you are eating tripes or lobster, which in my opinion isn't the best thing. This is because in my opinion the texture and flavour of the food materials are essential to the overall experience and if they were overpowered by the method of cooking or sauces, then the dish is not really bringing the best part of that materials out. The ribeye was tender and juicy, nicely done.
Also we were given a 2 hour window, which was communicated on the day, not before. It is understandable for a busy Sat night but realistically for multiple courses and a big group, it was a bit tight. We had to leave immediately after we finished eating.
