| - We went on a Thursday night and it was relatively empty given how large their lower area is. The upper area is a nice, minimally lit area that's comfortable when it's still light out. The lower area is a bit dungeon-esque. I wonder what it would be like to eat down there.
A friend and I shared their prix fixe menu, which at $29, includes an appetizer, pizza, and dessert. I thought it would've been too little food as I normally eat a lot - too much - but it was a good portion. I wasn't stuffed, but I was satisfied. My friend doesn't eat a lot, so I don't know that it would be enough for two people under normal circumstances.
APPETIZER - Arugula Salad
-----------------------------------------------
It is a mountain. It comes with cranberries, walnuts, and goat cheese. It was so simple, but one of the best salads I've had and the portion was huge.
MAIN - "The Dominator" pizza
-----------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, the pizza came slightly burnt, the crust a bit black, and it's a pet peeve of mine when restaurants serve food that is visibly burnt because it shows they'd rather hope the customer doesn't say anything than proactively try to serve the best food possible.
The Dominator comes with fennel sausage, rapini, smoked mozzarella, and fried chili oil. It wasn't anything special, but it did taste good.
DESSERT - Nutella Mousse
-----------------------------------------------
There are a few desserts, none of which are listed on their menu, probably because they rotate depending on availability. There was ice cream, some type of cake, and maybe three more options. We ordered the nutella mousse, which was just a small cup of mouse with a cookie or graham crumb on top. It was alright, a little more chocolate than nutella flavour.
Altogether, the food was enjoyable, the portions were good, and the restaurant and atmosphere were comfortable.
