| - Without reservations for a weekend evening, my friend and I were directed to the bar area upon arriving. There was a neat coat check area prior to entering, which was a nice addition that I was not expecting. The bar area was lively - much more casual compared to the dining room area, and offered great views of the bustling streets outside.
We shared an appetizer of Mozzarella Di Bufala - a mild cheese dish. I'm not a fancy cheese type of person, but the this cheese was creamy, milky and tasted excellent with the surrounding roasted peppers, basil pesto and lemon preserves. The pesto was especially memorable since it tasted so fresh and complimented really well the texture of the cheese.
For the entree, I was so tempted to order the rabbit dish, but ended up with the Glazed Black Cod. The fish was smoked and served with small slivers of salt on top. The potatoes on the side were amazing - I was even skeptical whether they were potatoes or not! This dish overall was gentle in flavour - well suited for people who prefer less salt/sauces on their dishes, such as myself! =)
My friend had the Pulled Beef Short Ribs on Fettuccine, which was the special of the day. The sauce was cream based, but not thick at all. This dish was more hearty and I would highly recommend this if you like meat!
I thought this place was quite pricey for the food, but the convenient location and the friendly service made my dinner a great experience. I would definitely come back again.
