| - Upon entering this restaurant, I thought "Wow, what a charming little place"! It was warm and inviting; our group of 8 happily found ourselves in a comfortable little nook by the bar.
The food menu was fairly lengthy and was hard to read. For someone who typically loves perusing the menu for what to eat, I was frustrated to look at the crowded one-page list they'd compiled. I wanted to have a mix of cold and hot tapas so went ahead and ordered a veritable selection of items, including some "specials" off-menu.
After tasting from a total of 15 dishes, all I can say is... everything tastes like yuzu. Don't get me wrong, the first few bites were AMAZING because I love anything with a citrus profile... but after a few dishes, it just got downright boring! Arctic char ceviche was served with an apple slaw and yuzu vinaigrette... Grilled quail was over a mango salad and yuzu vinaigrette... Salmon tataki ... served over greens and yuzu vinaigrette. I actually got so sick of that same flavour that I stopped eating before I was full. This is not to say that the food was bad, by any means, but I don't believe their menu is well-rounded and the preparation does not do the ingredients much justice.
Another disappointing factor was the abysmal service we received. The waiter (tall, blonde) did a decent job at taking our food order but there were a few rounds of drinks that took more than 20 minutes to arrive at our table after the order was placed. My friend ordered a glass of rose that had over-oxidized (I tasted it to verify) so she politely asked the waiter if she can have another glass and he rudely told her that "she needs to cleanse her palette". I understand that everyone has a different opinion on how wine should taste, but I would think that since we were a large group ordering more than $450 of food/beverages, he would at least entertain the idea of catering to her request a TINY bit. After 2.5 hours since our first food order, he nonchalantly brings out a plate of ribs which we were all confused to see. We looked around to ask one another who had ordered it and he mentioned that it was originally placed during the first round of our order. We ended up packing it up to take home, but I thought it was a really unprofessional way to respond to the situation on his part.
The food was OK, but will not be coming back due to bad service.
