| - For the Dix30 stretch, I have to rate this restaurant worth the buck. It is isn't bundled into the typical mall restaurant experience although the location (across Adonis/and five guys can give that impression). It's especially popular because it's a BYOB place. There is plenty of parking and reservations aren't needed.
The restaurant decor is very chic -with two floors and a waiting area.
The menu was pretty simple with good choices. I didn't get my menu in English, which makes it harder to understand the true Italian ingredients. We had a 1/2 portion of salmon tartare (4/5) that contained very unique ingredients like mango spiced with a hint of Wasabi, avocado. Ideally it would've been nice to have more biscuits/bruchetta that came with the dish.
The main courses were huge in portion good enough for 2 people each- the pasta game was strong! Tagliatelle Ai Quatro Funghi E Formaggio Di Capra-4/5 (Shiitake, oyster, portobello and button mushrooms, olive oil, thinly sliced garlic, semi dried cherry tomatoes, tagliache olives, thyme, lemon zest and goat cheese) was lightly bathed in lovely flavours; the gnocci was very well done but a tad heavy-3/5.
For dessert, we were offered an array of platters but the banana chocolate creme brulée (4/5) was so good!
Service was fast but the waiters seemed a big overwhelmed with the amount of clients. My waiter kept on forgetting my sparkling water, then remembered on the 3rd attempt.
Definitely a good place for family dinners or dates!
