| - I can't recommend this place highly enough.
We had reservations for one night, but there was some problem in the kitchen and they didn't open. They tried to call and let me know but couldn't get through, so when we arrived at the restaurant there was an apologetic note on the door written to me. It was so nice I took a picture of it, and then the chef came out and said he was sorry and asked if we could come back the next day (he gave us our choice of times on a busy Friday night).
I have to say it was worth the wait. We started with the lobster escabeche, spicy beef tartare, and a cherry tomato/bone marrow dish which were all incredible. And because of what happened the day before, the chef bought us each a glass of cider. For mains we got the stuffed squid and the surf and turf (scallops and black pudding) which were delicious. For dessert, it was a pastry filled with hazelnut and a cold grape soup with sorbet and cake. The whole meal was fresh, perfectly seasoned, and just looked pretty. The servers were great, attentive but not in our faces and we definitely did not feel rushed.
If there ever was a meal worthy of a 5-star review, it was this one.
