ENVIRONMENT - it's a narrow restaurant with regular tables and communal tables in which guests sit beside each other. It's wonderfully decorated, and I love the little details with the hooks underneath the table so you can hang your purse.
SERVICE - very attentive and friendly!
FOOD - The dishes are beautifully presented, but didn't wow
+polenta fries $8: it's essentially almost a dollar per fry. This was raved in most Yelp reviews so I had to try it. Not bad, but didn't amaze me and I wouldnt go out of the way to order this again if I came back, imo.
+ halibut special of the day $28: the halibut is wonderfully cooked, and its paired with this white bean puree which I quite liked to my surprise (i normally don't like beans). The veggies that came with the dish were delicious as well, and had a great crunch to them (i wish i could the exact names of them). Overall, would recommend.
+sea buckthorn posset $9: comes with blueberry sorbet that's in an adorable round lemon kind of shape, wildflower cake that's crumbled on the plate, apricot rose puree, sorghum fruits. I thought this was a very unique dessert presentation. I wouldve enjoyed it a lot more if I liked posset (this is kind of like yogurt with a more tangy taste). I'd get the japanese cheesecake next time (my frd has this and was absolutely delicious)!
They give you a cool postcard when you pay! It adds a nice touch haha. I'd want to come back and try the tasting menu for about $60pp.
