| - Considering my friends and I ordered over half of Station's menu in one night, I figure I might as well write a review, right?
Here's how it went down; 4 people, 3 appetizers, 4 entrees, and 2 desserts. All shared family-style.
SERVICE: Our server actually encouraged us to split dishes before we'd even mentioned it, and she brought us plenty of extra plates and serving utensils to do so. She gave us great recommendations, was very friendly and attentive the whole night, and even brought us extra toasted bread when we asked. Couldn't have asked for more from her. :)
FOOD: My impressions are kind of mixed on the food... there were one or two things I loved, but some I was less crazy about.
- Appetizers: the chicken wings were nothing special, and the beef tongue was alright. If I had to order anything again, it would be that chicken liver mousse. As creamy and flavorful as you'd expect!
- Entrees: the pork and steak were just alright (a bit salty). The tagliatelle was pretty delicious (especially that 1 hour egg!). However, the highlight of the entire meal for me was definitely the butter poached cod. The buttery smooth texture instantly won my heart, and I wish I could have ordered it all for myself!
- Dessert: with only two dessert items, we felt like we had to just try both. They're entirely different; while the lavender pound cake is more refreshing (especially with the pineapple), the panna cotta has a strong, rich sweetness. Even as a big dessert person, I personally don't think they're must-haves, especially if you're satisfied from the previous courses. The selling point seems to be their uniqueness haha.
Overall, I was kind of hedging between a three and four star rating. I'm not necessarily dying to come back and try anything else... I feel like I hit most of the highlights here. If the menu changes up, I'd consider trying Station again, but I'd be more choosy about what I'd order.
