You know when you hear good things about a place and when you get there, your experience is nowhere near the expectation that was set? Yup. This is pretty much what happened to me.
So I was reading a very positive review by a seemingly reputable food blogger about Nota Bene and their happy hour. $4 for various dishes between 4-7pm on a weekday seemed like a good idea.
When my friends and I walked in, it was pretty quiet. We ordered some non-alcoholic drinks which were alright.
We were somewhat disappointed by the skimpy calamari. The photo I saw, had at least a double portion of what we received. The burrata was reasonable. Two pieces. The bresaola was on the skimpy side too. The flavours were good and the service was fine. I'm sure their regular menu is more satisfying.
In the future, I will not be taking the advice of a food blogger who eats for free and gives advice on food they didn't have to pay for.
FYI: According to the server, the menu literally changed TODAY. Boooo..... No fried chicken... :(
