| - Had an enjoyable lunch here, with mostly positives.
I love the decor of the place walking in. The set up is interesting - oval shaped room with couches lining the edge. It feels really quaint without feeling stuffy. Huge bar in the middle.
We tried the fried "taters" which were truffle fries, and the devils on horseback, basically chorizo stuffed dates. The fries were great! A very generous portion for $5 and came with yummy truffle mayo. The dates however... the only thing I could taste was the dates, which overpowered the chorizo and the sauce and I would not order it again.
For entrees we got pappardelle and duck and both tried a bit of each. The duck was good overall and I did enjoy it, but the chimichurri really overpowered it, and I love love love the natural flavor of duck that was definitely not highlighted :( The pappardelle (why is this word so hard to say) tasted really really undercooked to me, but my friend refused to send it back... Personally I liked the sauce, but the dish does taste kind of heavy to me, but I am someone who generally finds pasta dishes a bit heavy. For dessert, we split a vanilla creme brulee, and it was just average. Really really sweet, actually, so that can be good or bad depending on preferences. Acceptable.
I'd definitely come here again and try some other things on their menu. Good experience overall. It's so conveniently located right in the heart of the cultural district - no doubt lots of concert/playgoers take advantage of this.
