| - Good not great. Almost everything coming out of the kitchen was lacking that extra je ne sais quoi to make it special.
The grilled octopus app was my favourite of the evening by far with deliciously tender fingerling potatoes and tasty chorizo.
Despite ordering a medium rare veal, the piece came out looking overcooked and grey in colour. Both the waiter and the host insisted it was medium rare and it was the outside light coming through the windows that washed out the vibrant pink one would expect from a properly cooked piece of meat. They were nice about it and cooked us another one that came out looking exactly the same.. soo uhhh whatever.. it tasted good, just wasn't as juicy and tender as we would've liked it.
The halibut was decent, a little over cooked as well in my opinion, and was drier than I would've liked but it came with an excellent butter sauce with chunks of crab leg and a wasabi green bean puree.
The presentation of all the dishes were outstanding. They looked delicious, just a shame that didn't taste as good as they looked.
The meal came to $550'sh for 7 people and 2 bottles of wine, which is really reasonable considering all the food we ordered, plus desserts, plus wine.
What I appreciated the most was the service, very friendly staff despite the small hiccup, they even bought our table complimentary ice wine to go with dessert. Overall, I'm glad I can finally strike this off my list of "must try" places around the city, but I don't think I'll be going back any time soon.
