Ladies night!
Got a cozy table at the back and had quite the meal here. It's a small place and crowd is a little older but nevertheless, great. A glass of white wine was had and our waiter had a stunning memory, being able to recall at least six different specials and everything that went into them.
I got the flat iron steak with fries. I said what the hell, pile it on when I was asked if I wanted freshly ground sea salt and black pepper. Good choice for this dish! The steak was a perfect medium rare and came with a slab of butter on top. It was a little strange in that way- I don't see how anyone could possibly need that much- but I did melt some on the meat and integrate it a bit. The fries were AMAZING. Shoestring cut and with the fresh sea salt, really great. Everyone was eating them along with me; it was a well sized portion.
For dessert I had the apple crumble with ice cream. It could have been warmer to make the dish a bit homey-er. Plus, then you get that melting ice cream effect which is always welcome in my books. I stole several bites of the creme brulee and I think it was the best that I've had in this city! Every component was spot on and even though it's a rich dessert just by nature, anyone could and should finish it.
It was a wonderful dining experience and one that I would surely go back for! They do lunch do and are just fleshing out their new summer menu now so I can't wait to see what else is in store.
