| - Damas. I've got only love for you. So. On a cold cold night of January we had a reservation at 9 pm at this wonderful, warm, inviting, packed of clients restaurant. As soon as you enter you forget the cold weather. The decor is classy, not too much, not m'as-tu vu, just the right amount of coziness and style. We sat at one of the bar, they have 2, I love eating at the bar, and could see the cooks grilling, prepping and treating food with all the love it deserve. After getting all the informations we needed about the menu we decided to go big with the Menu degustation. For 75$ per person you get to share 9 mezzes and a main course. My friend is gluten intolerant and they were very accommodating abt it. They even asked if there's some mezze we would like to have more than others. It's the very first time that I have a say in the degustation menu items. It's a big plus. Everything we had was just fantastic: fatouch, eggplant moutaball, beets moutaball, kybbe (cooked one not the tartar), filet mignon, octopus salad, muhammara, fried cheese, so much delicious that I have forgotten the last mezze we had...but I can assure you it was good that's all I remember. For the main course (yeah it's not over yet) we shared the rack lamb. Goodness. Heaven. Hallelujah. The meat was so tender, grilled to perfection and perfectly marinated. I almost cried. It came with grilled veggies and an eggplant salad. The sides were perfect too: light and flavourful. Finally, yes, no judgement please, we had desert a wonderful baklava: just sweet enough and crispy like it should. It was a very nice way to finish this amazing meal. Now the alcohol. They have a very good wine list, I think it's private importation. Anyhow I drank cava all night and my friend rum and Coke. Oh yeah, we had shooters too. Go figure. The service was brilliant: everybody that works there were smiling and helpful. Really I can't ask for more. You need to go.
