I was going to wait for a second visit before leaving a review but I had to rescue the reputation of the arugula pizza (The Rocket). I just had it and it was fantastic. Wonderful fresh ingredients, airy flavourful thin crust, loads of yummy prosciutto = everything I could have hoped for. I also had one of the featured beers and enjoyed that; I'm looking forward to their wine and beer tasting events. Service was friendly, helpful and efficient. I appreciate that the restaurant has a nothing-to-hide open kitchen. Overall a great first experience.
As another person indicates there are other wood burning ovens in the neighborhood. I'm very excited to have one closer to where I live and would say that, based on my first experience, this one is at least as good as one (though 850 beats them on menu creativity), and far superior to the other. I will definitely be back and bring friends.
Only one small negative. I think that a restaurant with such fresh creative food should have a fresh creative soundtrack in the background. The existing music stream was a poor match for the sophistication of the menu. But that's small potatoes. And easily changed. And maybe I'm just a fussbudget.
Welcome to the neighbourhood 850 degrees!
