| - I wanted to give this pace 5* because of their great service and freebies. I mean, it's a cute, tiny place, the 2 people who were staffing (older Asian man and youngish Asian girl) were nice, and they gave us a free app (squash on zucchini with some type of sauce) and a free crème brûlée at the end: 1 for 2 to share.
So service-wise, it was a definite 5/5. I felt like a real VIP here.
Carbonaras ($17) looked great and so did the coffees. However, they had run out of Italian coffee, so that was a tad odd.
I had the lobster pasta in red sauce (that's actually its description, and the price of $38 was not disclosed in the menu). Man, that was a GIANT plate. Getting the meat was a real workout but worth. They gave a whole lobster with the proper equipment and lemon water so I didn't smell like PEI after.
Lobster was good, I'm sure, but the sauce was too overwhelming to get the taste of lobster. Then again, lobster is generally mild but still. Pasta texture and all was great. Sauce was a little spicy but I think I should have mixed it all up first so the spice wasn't just on the top.
Crème brûlée was great! The caramel was a little thick but I guess some like it thick. The custard was very smooth, no lumps, and it wasn't cold. I know that's a weird expectation but I've had cold, liquid custard before... as a crème brûlée. I def recommend this dessert. The portion was just right for 2 people.
Would I recommend? Yes, because it's at an average price (maybe $1 pricier than other places) but with spectacular service.
