I've been to many chef tastings before they opened. They have a talented chef who does meats and fish very well. I recommend starting off with their shrimp with avocado (very good), goat cheese tart or the delicious spicy tomato soup with chorizo. With the mains, you can't go wrong with the pork belly (tender), the aligot chicken (moist and comes with tasty cheezy mash), the lamb or even the fish (delicious eggplant puree). Make sure to ask their awesome bartender for the maple old fashioned for yourself and a darwin martini for the lady. Cannot go wrong. A very decent additon to Little Italy's changing restaurant landscape.
