Cost: 4.5/5
Food: 4/5
Service: 4/5
I've been to the coffee place next door and loved their soy latte, that when I read a post about Annette's being open just next door (same owners), I knew I had to come visit. A friend of mine had moved to the Junction, so coupled with Annette's being in the area gave me a really good excuse to come visit.
I came for a late dinner and I immediately loved the ambience when I stepped foot into the restaurant. it was small but cozy, and the lighting was just perfectly romantic. Candles were lit everywhere and it was a place that I knew I wanted to be in.
For food, my boyfriend and I shared a few dishes: the charcuterie plate, arancini, fish, and the butternut squash ravioli with brown butter and sage (on average, $8-15 per plate). It was kind of late in the night and we didn't want to eat too much so opted to share a few things.
I really wanted to like the ravioli (it's pretty much the only reason why I really gunned for Annette's), but it didn't exactly live up to what I thought it was going to be. Don't get me wrong, it was still good, I think the taste of the brown butter threw me off a bit and the butternut squash was sweeter than how I've had it before. FYI I believe the menu changes with the freshest produce, so some of the items might not be available anymore.
I hear they're open for brunch now too but haven't had a chance to try. Hopefully soon though!
