  • I wanted to really like this restaurant. I do, but the dishes we had were varied in execution. Let me detail. Starters were a burrata with a tomato/onion "jam" with balsamic drizzle. Tasty but could have used a sprinkle of coarse sea salt to provide a bit of pop to the dish. Eggplant rolatini was tasty but could have used another minute or two in the oven. Filling was a bit cool inside and the eggplant could have bee a tad bit softer...so a bit underdone. Wife had the octopus for a main...outstanding dish. Tender and good counterpoint with the romesco sauce. Brussels Sprouts were OK, a but a bit underdone and under seasoned. My main issue was the lasagne - I guess somewhat of a signature dish as it mentions on the menu a connection to Bobby Flay (?). So, in brief, WAY to long in the oven. The topping was burned black, all around the edge of the dish, at least 1/3 the way to the middle, resulting in a scorched taste with just about every bite. I was somewhat disappointed to hear that the topping was white American/cheddar but couldn't taste to be sure as it was burnt. Perhaps fontina since it's supposed to work Italian? The pasta itself inside was tender but the ragu and layers also tasted scorched...so hard to judge. I ate it, but should have sent it back. So, we have two under done dishes and one way overdone dish. The oven chef perhaps needs some oversight from the Exec. Meatballs as a side we're OK but also suffered from being somewhat over fried, also somewhat scorched. They could have used a long slow simmer in the sauce, but not sure that would have dealt with the overdone crust. Dessert was excellent. A butterscotch budino. Yum. As I said, I really wanted to like this place and will give it another try. Perhaps it was an off night. If you're voted a Best New Restaurant, one would expect something better.
