| - After being told numerous times to check this place out, me and my girlfriend finally decided to go. We made reservations for 8 and were promptly seated. We were given paper menus and told that it was because the menu changes on the daily basis, which I thought was pretty cool. They told us they use organic, sustainable ingredients whenever possible and that most of their stuff is local as well.
We ordered cocktails to start. I got a caesar, which is how I base a restaurants cocktail ability, since a properly made caesar isn't easy, and it was good. On the spicier side because they used Walter mix but very good. The girlfriend got a Kbana, which was a rum drink with fruit juices and other stuff. Not for me but she enjoyed it.
Then appetizers. We ordered buns, which I thought was a little strange they didn't simply come to the table, but they were amazing. Hot and fresh, with herb butter. So good. We also ordered the grilled octopus, which came on top of fingerling potatoes and was great as well.
On to mains. For myself, I got the venison sirloin, on top fingerling potatoes, with a beet salad, sautéed greens and jus. It sounded a little fancy for my taste, I like simple food, but it was actually really good. The deer was cooked perfectly medium rare, and the potatoes were crispy. The slightly bitter greens offset the sweet beets and the balance of the entire meal was perfect.
The girlfriend ordered hanger steak, which was tender and well marinated. I didn't have any of her sides but they came more or less the same as mine, since the deer was on special as a protein and was probably just integrated into the ingredients they already had.
Finally, dessert. We were given a dessert menu, and asked if we wanted coffee, which we did. The dessert menu contained multiple options, as well as a list of gelato and sorbet. We settled on the "share plate" of 3 items. Flourless chocolate torte, creme brûlée, and mango sorbet. We waited a few minutes, and our coffee arrived, and it was really good. More of a diner style coffee, which I love. Then the desserts came out and we were NOT disappointed. The chocolate torte was so decadent, the girlfriend could only handle a few bites, but I devoured it. We moved onto the creme brûlée which was rich and creamy, with a perfect crispy top and a sugar art presentation. We both agreed this was our favourite of the trio. Then we finished off with the mango sorbet. It was creamier than most sorbets, which made it all that much better, and the mango flavour really came through.
All in all the experience left us full, satisfied, and with a slightly expensive cheque, but we both agreed again, it was totally and completely worth it. You truly get what you pay for, and we got a fantastic evening full of delicious food.
