As soon as we walked into this restaurant I immediately loved the way it looked. The dining area is spacious but cozy and the furniture/decor gives off a warm and genuine feel. We were greeted by the very friendly staff and sat down to check out the hand-written menu. It turns out that the menu changes quite frequently since the chef tries to use fresh seasonal ingredients when possible. I started off by ordering the arepas with black beans and cheese. The arepa itself was decent and the toppings added some smokey flavour to make for a fairly filling appetizer. I almost didn't have enough room afterwards to eat my main dish - the lentil shepherds pie (with a side salad). This was a generous serving that certainly filled me up. Perhaps it wasn't technically a pie since there was no bottom crust, but that's pretty irrelevant. The lentils were the foundation of the pie with a layer of potato and a crispy top above them. It was definitely tasty but not exactly out of this world. I enjoyed the dining experience overall. The food came out a bit slowly and it wasn't a revelation when it got to the table, but it was good. With a little fine tuning the food can be great and I suspect the service will become speedier as well. I will absolutely come back to try this place out again!
