| - We arrived for our reservation at 7pm on a Friday night and took a gamble at the Groupon that we found for this place (3 course meal for two for $64.99). The first thing that I noticed was that the ambiance of this place was very classy, modern and intimate. Noise level is low to average, at a table of two, it wasn't too difficult to hear from across the table.
The food wasn't anything wild. For portion size it was average...
I ordered the tomato and mozzarella, mac 'n' cheese, maple beignets.
The tomato and mozzarella was pretty good. It came with tomatoes and green peppers, a bit of cheese, and spinach coated in dressing. I'm not usually a fan of raw spinach, but I really liked how it was used to compliment this dish. In the dressing, which I want to say was balsamic vin., it was pretty good. I think they put a bit too much dressing on - at one point toward the end of the dish, I coughed a bit...good, but overwhelming taste. The mac 'n' cheese was fairly good as well. Portion size a little bigger than most places that serve mac 'n' cheese. The maples beignets was a mild, but sweet taste to it - good for those who don't enjoy overly sweet treats.
My boyfriend ordered beef tartar (?), pumpkin gnocchi and eclairs.
I tried all of them - don't really have much to say about them by comparison to my dishes. The pumpkin gnocchi, however, was a nice and original taste to it - definitely worth trying.
We were completely served and billed within about an hour and a bit. I was pleasantly surprised considering the restaurant was very busy. My advice is to make a reservation, or you may be waiting for a while.
