| - My friends and I stumbled upon this little gem thanks to yelp (the restaurant we originally wanted to go to had a 1.5 hour wait, but it was Superbowl weekend so we should have expected that), so we decided to be adventurous for our dinner. Let me start by saying the restaurant looks magically adorable from the outside and it does not disappoint when you walk in either. It is perfect for a date night, friends outing or family dinner (basically any occasion). The hostess saw us walking up and opened the door for us which was such a pleasant surprise. Our server was also extremely knowledgeable about everything on the menu and had some great advice and helped us in making our choices.
So let's get to the food! I was there with 2 other friends and we each ordered different entrees and sides so we could sample as much as possible. The little bundle of heaven we normally call bread that they brought out literally melted in my mouth, and the butter was unlike anything I have every tried - it was a little sweet and just delectable. We got MUSSELS as an appetizer and they were amazing; we especially enjoyed dipping the bread in the curry-coconut broth (it really does taste like curry-coconut, so if you are not a fan of these flavors you might not like it) I ordered the BACON BURGER, which was cooked to perfection (medium rare), but I do need to point out that the bacon was mixed with the ground beef so you couldn't really taste it. It was good, nevertheless, but if you are a huge bacon fan then don't expect it to be very bacon-y. I added the duck egg and I would most definitely recommend that!!! My friend got the DUCK BREAST and that was everything we could have hoped for it to be (my only complaint was that there wasn't more of it). Our last entree was the SAND DABS (which is a fish; the server explained it as a better version of tilapia and she was point on!), and that was very buttery and melting in your mouth, but it wasn't as flavorful as we expected it to be. As for the sides we got the KALE, which might have easily been my favorite dish of the night, it was light yet flavorful and just amazing. The ROASTED SWEET POTATOES taste exactly how you would expect them to taste (not enough bacon in my opinion, again), but the jalapenos gave it a great kick. Finally, the GRILLED DATES were extremely flavorful and sweet; you couldn't taste the prosciutto as much because the dates were too overpowering, but if you are a date lover then you will love this side. I still enjoyed it, just not as much as the other dishes. We also ordered dessert: we got the spiked BREAD PUDDING, and normally I am not a huge fan of bread pudding (I usually lean more towards chocolate-y desserts), but this has made me a fan forever, it was so fabulous and it was just the perfect end to an amazing dinner. They also have a great selection of reasonably priced wines; we ordered a bottle of Malbec and it accompanied the dinner perfectly.
Overall, I would most definitely go back and bring more people to try it out as well. I can't wait to try more of their dishes. Everything we tried was unique in its own way and you can really experience new and exciting flavors here that put a twist to some more common dishes. I left a happy camper with intentions to return asap. My only small complaint is that it was a little pricey considering how small the portion sizes were. For example, my burger with the duck egg was $15 plus the side $8, which comes out to a $23 burger meal, which, as good as it was, was a little overpriced. I would still return and recommend this place to friends, and I gave it 5 stars because the food was really amazing.
