| - Yes! Yes! A million times Yes!
I accidentally tried this place a couple years ago.
Best accident that ever took place! How often do you get to say that in your life!
Yes, decor is fun and keeps your eyes discovering more.
Yes, the booze menu has enough for you to never get bored.
Yes, it's got a bar vibe but never feeling over crowded - even when the place is full. (We were sitting next to a table of booze guzzling 8- and couldn't even tell).
I bet you didn't know that you can email for a reservation.
I reserved a table for two for a Friday night via email and got accommodated.
I was greeted by a gentleman at the door. Who (you can tell was handling many things in his head) but gave me undivided attention. Seated my promptly. So yes, welcoming, attentive and youthful staff. Just enough to make sure you have what you want and leave you alone at the same time.
Best part is the menu.
Let me make this easy for you - Get the plates that have the following:
- Blue cheese
- snail
- bacon
- mushrooms.
Their menu isn't always exactly the same.
The blue cheese: stinky and spicy on a warmed lettuce head, mixed with roasted nuts.
The mushroom was a special. These people know how to cook mushrooms! In whatever dish, they get it right!
The snails: (Bourgots, beurre D'algues, pain frits) is so buttery and delicious - hidden under these crips/salted yum bites. [FYI: They use to leave them whole but now they cut them in half.. I prefer the whole).
The bacon: thick chucks, crips on the outside, mixed with some veggies on these puree bed of love. I consider it the best plate in the house (next to the octopus). And, my date can't stop thinking of the bacon. You see eyes just light up when the person eating the bacon takes that first bite. It's really a surprise delight.
They have this special sea food platter plate. I am heading back for that and will keep you posted.
There you have it.
Go on now - get!
Grab a friend and go treat yourself with a drink and a bite, or two or three - seriously the bacon!
