| - How could I give this place anything but 5 stars? We had one of the best meals in recent memory here, for sure. We ordered a lot of food, so here goes.
For starters, we grabbed a dozen oysters, which came with 3 different sauces. The vinegar was the best, although the chili oil was also tasty. We all shared a massive charcuterie tray with 9 meats and 3 cheeses. All meats are actually cut and prepared 100% onsite, and every single one was delicious. A venison sausage was one standout, but all were impeccable. Cheeses were great, but didn't blow my mind. A ginger carrot slaw that came as an accoutrement did, though. Wow.
We also split two appetizer salads - one was a roast carrot with a yoghurt dressing, the other a broccoli with these little spicy fried cauliflowers. Oh, those cauliflowers. Do not miss both of these salads. You will waste away in eternal regret if you do. The gods of "good food you should have tried" will visit misery upon you. Consider yourself cursed.
Main dishes - 3 of us all got the pork done 3 ways. Our server recommended this. And he was spot on. It was a lovely variety - one braised, one ground and rolled in a thin pasta dough then seared, and one lightly fried with a cheese in a croquette. A light slaw came with it. Blew our minds. One of our party got the sweet potato pasta, which looked awesome but we didn't try it. He didn't share.
Finally we ordered dessert. We got the rice cheesecake, which was really interesting. The killer was a dish not yet on the attached menu though (being added shortly). It was a rye and rhubarb *something* with white chocolate. Order it. You'll be glad you did.
