| - We are so excited there is a nice place like this to enjoy in our hometown! The entire evening was great - from the service, the food, the patio, the wine....we forgot all about our kids (date night) and really enjoyed our dinner! For me, that's 5 stars!
We started with the octopus appetizer. Wow. What a great start to the night!! It was cooked so perfectly and went nicely with the lemony arugula and the sauce on the plate. Then we shared the braised short rib and the sea bass. Both were great. The plating on the short rib surprised me - it really didn't look that great - the mushroom polenta looked so unappetizing piled under the rib....but it did not disappoint. Seasoning was a bit off, but when you got the bite all together it was pure bliss on the tongue. The sea bass was so yummy, crispy skin, cooked so simply - respecting the soft, delicate fish that it is. All of this was enjoyed with a nice bottle of wine. They have a decent wine list. Then dessert...Butterscotch pudding, done so nicely along with a cup of coffee. I do wish the coffee was done in a french press - it was lacking a bit.
The service was great! She was so friendly and attentive, was able to give good recommendations and knew about the ingredients in each item (we had to worry about food allergies).
Sitting out on the patio was great. I love their fun blue chairs, and the simple, sweet style of this place!! We will most definitely be back!
