| - A lot of hype around this trendy restaurant. But I wasn't extremely amazed by the food, and it's quite pricey.
Love the atmosphere, small, and cozy, suitable for a date or with parents. Impeccable service.
The food, however, I've had better at this price.
We started with some appetizers. The bone marrow, I expected a long, thick bone, but instead the marrow was narrow. It was also topped with braised lamb and roasted plum - which really took away from the taste of the actual bone marrow. I was a little disappointed for $14. We also got the burrata cheese, very smooth and tasty and a decent sharing plate for $15. The best deal was the bread at $4.
For entrees, it took a really long time to get to us. Hubby got the rabbit, which he seemed to enjoy very much, and my mom got her fish which she seemed to like. The item my dad wanted that was on the website, seemed to have disappeared off the menu. He opted for the squid pasta, but he didn't want the squid ink pasta - he asked if he can have regular pasta instead , to which they agreed.
I got the regular squid ink pasta. I don't know why this costs $22. There was 3 pieces of squid, a few pieces of chilli and pasta that was coated in squid ink. My dad's version, was also the same price, minus the squid ink pasta.
The worst part, was that my dad's pasta was undercooked. It wasn't al dente , it was actually hard and crunchy. I sent it back to which they apologized and gave us a new one. It was better, but the texture was nothing smooth like the version that I had. I am shocked that this could happen in the restaurant of this calibre.
Meal over all with wine was about $50-60 per person, with one dessert included, which isn't terrible - but I feel like there are better quality restaurants out there.
