| - I decided to try this restaurant after receiving a recommendation from a friend that has dined here in the past. Unfortunately, we were both quite disappointed with the overall experience.
We arrived to an empty dining room and weren't immediately greeted. There was only one person working the front-of-the-house, which I presume was the owner. Our interaction was pleasant and professional; however, I felt like the passion was absent.
Overall, the food was mediocre. In my opinion, the quality/freshness, portion sizes, and taste were not commensurate with the menu prices. We tried a few dishes - the best being the shiitake flatbread with goat cheese. The bread was fresh and tasty, as well as the cheese.
I was let down by the avocado toast, as the avocado spread was bland and drenched in lemon. I'm not sure if that's their recipe or an attempt to preserve the spread for a few days, but it certainly did not taste fresh. This was also evident with the pasta dish. The sauce was underwhelming and bland, while the pasta itself was fresh and cooked well.
I genuinely feel like with some more passion and pride, this restaurant has the potential of being great. I wouldn't be opposed to giving them another chance in the future.
