Made a reservation on a friday night at 8pm for 2. Surprisingly this restaurant was not packed. Upon our arrival there were 3 other tables at the time - didn't get to go upstairs but it seems like there was a private event/party going on.
So to start off - the atmosphere (4.5) - more casual than the other Yorkville restaurants and the lighting wasn't too dark either (ooo so I can take perfect food picture so to share here with you guys?!)
We ordered 2 hot appetizers, the cross cut ribs and calamari with calamansi aioli and pepper chilli. The cross cut ribs came with kimchi and rice that I would give maybe a 3 - though with huge portion, it failed to surprise it beyond its presentation. The rice was really dry and the rib was not so flavourful, kimchi was way too sour. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this dish. BUT the calamari was amazing though - perfectly cooked with nice presentation - the black calamansi aioli + pepper chili sauce was my favourite.
For main I ordered the albacore tuna with kale and oyster mushrooms - I was very surprised by the potato chip that it came with. It's CLEAR color - and super crunchy that gives this dish an interesting character. The tuna itself did not impress me though - it seems a little bit tasteless. My boyfriend ordered the lamb shank and WE absolutely loved it - as you know, I had been digging into his plate to try to get a piece of his lamb!
For dessert - we ordered the torrija with cream brulee ice cream and sweet milk whip cream. My boyfriend really liked it even though he's not a big fan of dessert!
We also ordered their special drink the French sweet sparkling and their house white+red wine.
OVERALL - 4 stars. Would come back but sometimes it's hit and miss with their appetizers or main. Good luck!
