| - Originally made a reservation for 7:30pm on a Saturday, was emailed back to come earlier with no specific time given as to when they had preferred. I then offered to come in at 7pm which they could accommodate.
When we arrived we were quickly seated but the place had many available seats open. (Not sure why they preferred that we come anyearlier). Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. We weren't originally going to order alcohol but another staff member came by asking if we needed help ordering a drink (she made the drinks list), and was offered to sample some wine, and even added some sweetener to my rose (I like my wine very sweet).
Our mains came before our appetizer which wasn't a big deal but there was a mix up in the kitchen.
We ordered:
Fritto Misto $18 (were told it's a blend of lightly fried seafood and some vegetables). It was a small bowl of tempura tasting vegetables (we had this in Italy before and the batter tasted completely different). And there was only one large shrimp in the small dish which was very disappointing.
Honey Braised Lamb Shank $29 came with pomegranate rice and tabbouleh. The sides weren't very special and we actually didn't like the taste of the rice and tabbouleh was very dry. The lamb itself was fairly big and filling.
Lemon Saffron Linguine $20. Came with hand-made pasta, mushrooms, calamaretti, and some vegetables. Again, was a little dry for my liking.
Lastly we asked about the dessert sampling platter at the start of the meal which included a little bit of each of the desserts on the menu. When we were ready to order, the manager came over to tell us due to the pricing of the ingredients the dish now costs $27, not the $15 that is listed...
So we deliberated and decided that we still wanted to try all the deserts this place is known for, our waitress let us know the dish actually costs $25, not $27. (I don't know if they just decided this as we were ordering because it seemed pretty odd the prices kept changing and after we ordered, most of the tables ordered the same thing).
Dessert Platter: selection of 4 out of 6 desserts listed and I have to say, none of them really stood out as a favourite. All were presented very elegantly but the taste was a bit bland.
Overall the ambience/space and service was very classy and friendly, but I think I would only come back here for drinks and not the food.
