| - Oh. My. Word.
This was fabulous from start to finish, with a friendly even jocular maitre d' and a lovely waitress who gave us carefully thought out and thorough recommendations.
We started with the baked goat cheese, refried sweet potatoes, beets, and blood sausage. All of them were excellent.
Large plates we had grilled octopus and grilled lamb chop. The octopus had been marinated overnight then perfectly cooked and seasoned, served with roasted potatoes. The meat came out the consistency of a hard boiled egg, not at all rubbery like octopus usually gets. The lamb was divine, pink in the middle, and served on a unique chick pea blend.
Dessert was the basque cake with cherry compote and churro with chocolate. The churros were good, as churros go, but the dipping chocolate was heavenly. We even drank some of it straight just so it wouldn't go to waste, albeit allowing it to go to waist. The highlight of the evening was the basque cake, a delicate white cake served warm with the cherries and a little scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Highly recommend this place, no reservations so make a reservation.
