| - Stumbled upon this place on the way to that momo sushi place and saw it was summerlicious, so decided to pop in.
Going on, I got the vibe that it's French/Italian, mostly because j'ai vu un mur couverte avec un poème or something like it. The menu itself has French names but it was mostly pastas in the entrées so I guessed it was some fusion thing.
This is definitely a cute date spot. Tables don't hold more than 4 and the dining area is tightly packed and dimly lit but I guess it adds to the romantic ambience.
I had this prosciutto salad with mixed greens and asiago cheese and it was fantastic. I'm not a salad person but this was a great appetizer. I loved that they didn't drown the salad in their dressing... Which I still can't figure out. It was light green with bits of herb in it. Anyway, they didn't give too much prosciutto but it was delicious. They sprinkled some walnuts in there, which didn't stand out too much but I guess walnuts are just mild.
My entrée was seafood pasta. It has tiger shrimp, calamari, and a couple of other stuff. When I went yesterday, they didn't give too many toppings. I don't know if it's because we ordered two.. Not that that should matter. However, that rosé sauce was great!
My dessert was a crème brûlée but an herb they added on there was too gingery. The sugar coating on top is really thick so you really have to your weight into breaking it up. I probably burned more calories eating the crème brûlée then ingesting it because it took so much energy to bite!
Service was nice and friendly. The ambience is top notch but I think they need to tweak their food a bit. I had some of their peach and ice cream and that was good, though! Taste is all there, but I'd have liked more toppings in my pasta. The pasta was chewy which I liked.
