FOOD
Pork terrine - Flavourful and nicely spiced. It came with a teeny bit of pickled watermelon rind, which just tasted like sugar to me. My dining companions all agreed this was their favourite dish.
Pigeon - This dish was all right. I found that the flavours were imbalanced; too much seasoning and not enough pigeon flavour.
Gnocchi - Great texture! However, it tasted like a tomato stew...a *really good* stew, but still, a stew.
AMBIANCE
The place is small and cozy, with dark brown/mahogany and white design palette. I felt comfortable there.
SERVICE
Really nice service here. Nothing to complain about! The server ws patient and attentive.
ACCESSIBILITY
The entrance of this restaurant is not wheelchair-accessible.
THEIR TWO REDEEMING QUALITIES
Really, I thought one of the two redeeming qualities about this place is their surprisingly cheap alcohol from Wednesday to Friday, between 5pm and 7pm. Four dollars for a steamwhistle! Five dollars for a glass of house wine!
The second redeeming quality is the warm, buttery, complimentary housemade bread. They are good to look at (so aesthetically pleasing!) and delicious to the palette! We couldn't get enough of their jalapeno butter either.
Note to self: Go back and try their tasting menu. Have a feeling it's going to go over much better.
