  • Dr Jekel and Mr Hyde. Not in a playful fun way either... When I was driving to the restaurant I nearly couldn't find the place. Very small sign and an inconspicuous door that leads you to the basement below a boutique. Then as I walked in I fell in love with the place. I felt like I was in a speak easy - this small, basement restaurant with brick and stone walls, low ceilings and dark atmosphere. It was so cool I thought this place is going to be something special. I looked at the menu and saw the drink prices. I was taken back a bit - I mean I've been around the block to nice places in major city's and downtown 140 had drinks prices that rivaled those places. No matter - if its superb food and service then its worth the price...everything has a value. So I ordered a beer mainly because I felt like one. To the menu - also a bit pricy but again I was thinking this place was just going to be dynamite...as I said I fell in love at first sight. We ordered the calamari, the pork belly and the mussels app. To be honest all of them were very good. The calamari was basically thick cut and not hardly breaded; it was lightly sauced, perfectly cooked and well garnished. The pork belly was decadent, a little sweet and came with an interesting sauce that I really enjoyed. The mussels were also perfectly cooked and came in this white broth that was light and flavorful. I ordered a salad and they brought the wrong one. No biggie at all - but you could tell they rushed the correct one because it was the most disheveled salad I've ever seen. If I got this thing at a american chain restaurant for $2.50 I would have laughed at them. So for $10 it wasn't a joke anymore - just sad. A couple pieces of bib lettuce with some grapefruit and avocado - and I think they forgot the walnut oil as well. Coincidently all of us at the table got pasta dishes...i guess we were all drawn to the fresh, hand made pasta. You don't see that much anymore which is a shame, so I was able to try three of them. When they came out the portions were small for the full orders but I was ok with it. Usually there is too much pasta as it is at restaurants. The fettuccini was the best all around - it had a decent sauce and the pasta was cooked by far the best out of all of them. The cavatelli was just ok...nothing special. The wild boar ragu sounds far better than it tasted. Lastly the parpardelle was the worst...far overcooked pasta and little flavor. Also, coincidently this order was the only one that was a half order - now this was clearly a joke. The portion was the size of a small soup bowl...and I'm not kidding. This should not even be offered - how can someone order this for their meal? If you are going to charge $26 for pasta dishes (with very little protein mind you) they should be OUTSTANDING. This was just not the case. Funny thing is, I will be back. I just loved the atmosphere and coziness so much. I'd come back to share an app and have a drink with my wife here...the only problem is 2 drinks and an app will set you back about $40. Maybe its a hudson thing, but I'm sorry hudson you are not times square.
