Service was A+; from the maitre d' who very warmly greeted us and took our coats as we emerged from a long walk in icy weather to our helpful waitress who took the time to answer our questions. The menu is rather short, but quite varied, featuring a mix of Italian, French and Japanese influences. Plates are beautifully dressed.
We shared the tuna tartare as a entree; it came with fried nori sheets instead of the regular crackers (original!) and was paired with confit egg yolk. Absolutely delicious! We followed with seafood squid ink linguini and squash risotto with shiitake mushrooms, and while both were good, they didn't leave an out-of-the-ordinary impression. Dessert was a yuzu tart with meringue and grapefruit, and an interesting apple and cranberry tart: their strong asset was definitely the artful presentation.
All in all, great place for a date or a more formal dinner with plates that are devoured with the eyes first and foremost.
