| - What a disappointing experience. I came across with this restaurant on instagram from my foodie friends. Anyways, I wish I was told when making the reservations that the street access was fenced off and that there is underground parking as we parked on the street and have to go around the complex to enter.
For the drinks, we've ordered the following:
LOVE LETTER
16.00 2.5 OZ
Beefeater, strawberry jasmine syrup,
Bodegas Maron Oloroso sherry, lemon juice
FLUID SPRITZ
18.00 2.5 OZ
Evan Williams Black, blood orange puree, housemade
Pomegranate hibiscus falernum, Brachetto d Aqui, soda
The Love Letter was an interesting concept, this drink comes with an envelop as a mat with a real lipstick mark. It's neat but again not worth that price point. Nothing to write home about.
For the appetizer, I've attempted to order
VONGOLE OREGANATE $18.00
Baked littleneck clams, parsley, bread crumbs, lemon, garlic and olive oil. However, the waitress told me they don't have that. Note: I was at the 5:00pm reservations and should be the first round.
Moving on for the highlight that I have been looking forward to for a few weeks.
POSTA PARMIGIANO WHEEL FOR TWO (MP)
Daily pasta or risotto tossed in a wheel of three-year old D.O.P. parmigiano-reggiano
The (MP) for tonight was $39 and the portion was like for one portion. They flame the cheese and add the risotto on, it's great if your "neighbour" ordered this so you can watch. But it was soooo salty. So salty that I am thirsty and got a headache after! The daily risotto was just with mushrooms. Definitely the portion seemed like portion for one person or not to price it at that price point.
The guest beside me couldn't order this because she had some sort of food allergy so I told my husband "lucky her" that she didn't end up ordering this!
ARAGOSTA $34.00
Nova Scotia lobster, mascarpone, blistered tomatoes, leeks, fennel pollen
There were pieces of lobster, very limited and the base tasted a bit dry.
The ambiance was nice, service was good but as a huge foodie, this dinner, the actual food that I was looking forward to kind of ruined my Saturday.
