| - Great food experience, but a bit pricey.
I came here with 4 friends for dinner at about 8pm. We were all incredibly hungry and sort of confused by the menu so we asked the chef to prepare a meal for us. The menu wasn't confusing, it's just that it included things that some of us have never heard of, and half of the people in our group had never had tapas before. I was really impressed that the menu had the day's date on it. I guess that means that their menu changes daily. Exciting!
The dishes:
Red cabbage and... something else salad with plum umami dressing and black walnuts. This was very tasty and refreshing, with a bit of a fishy taste to it, which I liked.
Black rice risotto with chantrelles. I wasn't a huge fan of this dish, but I was so hungry that I couldn't care. The mushrooms were quite tasty, but I didn't like the rice too much.
Mussels, which were cooked just right.. a little rare, with a nice sauce to it. I wish I had bread for it. In fact, I wish I had bread for the whole meal. It took a while for things to come out (two hours in all), and I felt really hungry until about halfway through the meal.
Onion tarte with gruyere cheese on top (which I peeled off). This basically tasted like a French onion soup, sans soup, and it was my third favourite dish of the evening. Sooo savoury and delicious!
A plate of grilled bread, a GIGANTIC hunk of cheese (not sure what kind) and spicy olives. I kind of wish this came at the beginning of the meal. It would have been a good appetizer and would have slowed the hungriness a bit. We barely got through the cheese. On friend ended up going home with the rest of it, which was about half the size of my fist. We joked about him eating it in the car on the way home. I'm not entirely sure he didn't.
A tarte with duck hearts, kidneys and such. I'm a big fan of this stuff, so I LOVED this. It's my second favourite dish of the night. My friend beside me remarked that it was good, and you wouldn't even be able to tell that it was organs. I could tell and I was in heaven.
Jerk black cod on rapini, fregola pasta, soupy sauce and an egg cooked sous-vide. The winner of the evening. The black cod was meltingly tender with a bit of spicy bite. The egg had a very interesting texture to it. Sort of velvety and soupy. The whole dish was amazing and I wish I could have had the whole thing to myself.
This was a really great experience... fine dining in a casual atmosphere with a really great server. It was a bit pricey ($35 per person) but we figured that it was an experience we'd never had before and the quality was really quite good. I wish that the portions were a bit bigger. We all came out just a little less than full, which I guess is a good thing considering this was at the end of the holiday season.
