I have been wanting to try this place for years. It always slipped my mind until last night but we finally got a chance to go. It was Saturday so I made a reservation for 8:30 - but it wasn't needed. It was busy by not too busy.
We sat in a small room that reminded me of an Italian cafe - it was very cute. I ordered the Ohio City martini. It was supposed to be muddled strawberry, basil with a hint of balsamic. It tasted like cheap vodka and strawberry jello - the martini glass was also only filled a little more than half way so it was truly disappointing. I was out $9 on that.
I was torn between a few items on the menu. The special, a black and blue filet, sounded appealing and so did the salmon. I ended up getting the sesame ahi tuna and I was NOT disappointed!! The tuna was PERFECT. It wasn't chewy or overcooked, it truly perfect. It came on top of sooba noddles with carrots and edamame tossed in sweet soy sauce. The noodles were a little saucy but they were still great. It came with a wasabi, mayo like sauce on the side. I wish it had been a little more spicy with more wasabi but it complimented the tuna.
I knew going in I wanted dessert. I opted for the chocolate torte. It was supposed to come with a caramel sauce and a spicy bacon brittle (the brittle sold me in an instant). However, it came with some caramel-like chewy candy on the side. I wish it had come with the bacon brittle but the torte was AMAZING so I got over it. I don't like super rich chocolate but this was just rich enough.
I will definitely be going back to try other items on the menu!
