I came here with my business partner and our spouses, plus my 3 month old baby to celebrate a business win, mostly because it was equidistant between our homes. We started with pate and dumplings and the pate was a nice surprise because I'm not normally a huge fan. The mustard created balance with the flavour of the chicken and left me asking for more crostini. My wife liked the dumplings because of the quality of the meat inside, and she's rather picky so that's a thumbs up. I prefer mine steamed but they were good (not too greasy).
For mains I only tried the flank steak and the mussels and both were quite good. I have had venison before a few times, but this was exceptionally tender and cooked perfectly to medium. The mussels (which my wife had as a main) were quite good, but again I'm not a huge fan of mussels in general. One thing I did note is that they were all opened and appeared to be perfectly cooked (it's so annoying when you have 2 or 3 mussels that don't open!).
Highlight of the meal was the service and wine. The owner at one point helped to rock our baby so we could finish our meals. We drank a fair amount but left happy and we shared a chocolate dessert that I seem to recall paired well with my wine, but by that point I was just glad I wasn't driving ;)
In summary, I really liked it - prices were Ok, certainly not cheap but I thought good value. I'm worried that if more people don't start hanging out there then it may not be there next time I swing by.
Cheers.
PS - next review of this place will be brunch, I've heard good things (ie. a Caesar bar??)
