| - Really enjoyed our dinner here. Had decided only in the afternoon that we wanted to come here for dinner, but was still able to book a reservation for 2 online. There were still a couple of tables free when we got seated, but it filled up quickly. There was a wait at the door by the time we were done.
We ordered the grilled romaine ($14) and housemade ricotta ($16) as starters. I've had charred cabbage at a restaurant before, so was intrigued about the taste of grilled romaine. Equally delicious - I will definitely have to give this a try when I BBQ at home next time! We found the housemade ricotta a little salty, and would likely forego this choice in future. We were also given complimentary yucca cheese balls - they're like the texture of yorkshire pudding...a nice treat! In fact, if they were on the menu, I might have ordered some more!
For our mains, we ordered the 8oz skirt steak ($24) and the beef short rib ($27), with a side of grilled asparagus ($8). We asked for the skirt steak to be rare, and indeed that's what we got. We always appreciate a restaurant meeting our "rare" request; so many overcook our meats! The meats were tasty and came with dips, although truly they were not needed. We loved tasting the natural grilled flavour on the steak and ribs. We saw many tables ordering the crispy potato strings as a side, but we were worried we'd get too filled up. Maybe next time! In fact, next time may call for the Tomahawk rib-eye. Because our dinner was relatively early (630pm), we were a little hungry by late night.
Dinner with 2 glasses of wine came to $130 before tip. Service was friendly yet professional. We didn't order dessert, but our bill came with two tiny dulce de leche filled shortbread cookies! A perfect way to end the meal.
