| - I really wanted to come here and decided to grab a bite around 4pm on a Sunday. Brunch was technically over and it wasn't too busy. It didn't stay quiet for long. We were seated at a round table for two people that was in between bigger tables meant for groups. What happened was we felt sandwiched between two bigger groups and didn't like how close we were to everyone else. It definitely got busy for dinner so now I know not to go at that time.
Our waitress was prompt to get water. My friend ordered a berry cobbler with coffee and I got the maple pork belly and bianca pizza, which I knew I would get a to-go box for. The waitress clarified with me that I wanted the pork belly to come out before pizza. I got the pizza first and my friend was approached by a waitress holding an apple pie versus the cobbler. There was some mix up, but everything eventually came out. My friend's cobbler was cold in the middle, burnt on the sides, and tasted gelatin-like in the center as if to say it was sitting out for a while. I did taste it and it wasn't good. She sent it back.
The bianca pizza was unlike anything I've ever had before. It had fig jam, goat cheese, arugula, and black truffle oil. The way it smelled was amazing so I was excited to take a bite. I was definitely pleased with the combination of flavors. My favorite thing about the pizza was the way it was served on a metal pan with some pepper flakes and cheese just on the side in little piles. I added pepper to my pizza and I loved it even more after that. I think this is now my favorite pizza.
Since my pork belly came out after the pizza, I tried it after I had a slice. It had pumpkin polenta, roasted pears, walnuts, and brie. The presentation was appealing. I didn't particularly like how fatty the pork was, but it still carried a great flavor on its own and mixed in with all of the flavors on my plate. Our waitress didn't come back after bringing our plates so my friend had to flag her down for additional coffee and a to-go box for me. While she wasn't rude or anything, I didn't find our waitress to be helpful or attentive. I would still come back to try out other items on any other day but Sunday at 4pm, but I would ask to be seated at a different table.
