| - Came here for drinks and snacks after work one day with my team. I had a really good time and I really enjoyed the food!
They're generous with the alcohol in their drinks, which I'm sure some people appreciate. Their white sangria was nice.
Their charcuterie plate was DELICIOUS. Great selection of cured meats. The duck prosciutto was deliciously salty and rich but oddly less fatty than regular pork prosciutto - but maybe I just like the taste of duck fat better. The smoked salami was savoury heaven - I can't remember what meat it was but it might have been bison or venison. The pepperoni was good (though I'm not really a pepperoni person). It was served with a delicious whole grain mustard. And the terrine was pretty awesome as well - salty and savoury and mild (i.e. not organ-y). Also served with pickles, which I didn't touch.
We had some kind of a seafood dip. It was AMAZING. It was creamy and salty, with generous hunks of crab and fatty fish (cod, maybe?) inside. It was topped with a browned cheese - either asiago, parmesan, or grana padano, I'm not sure. But this was wonderful.
We also had an octopus appetizer that was heavenly. The sauce it came in was perfection - creamy and garlicky and exquisitely spiced. The octopus was also cooked just right - not raw and slimy, not cooked and rubbery.
And then we had a margherita pizza, which was alright. The crust was paper thin and kinda burnt, though it was kinda charming that it was served with scissors. Nothing special though.
We also ordered fries, which were so-so.
Service was very, very good. Our server had bright, kool-aid blue hair and was tattooed all over! Very attentive and accommodating service, even though we had confusing billing requests.
Great experience - I'm going to save up my pennies and come back!
