| - I went to this restaurant with my sisters for a nice evening out. We ordered a delicious prosecco and after having a long look at the menu (where so many things looked good!), we finally ordered.
Since we were each getting a main and a side, we decided to just order one appetizer to share. The duck proscuitto was delicious! Wouldn't recommend sharing amongst 4 but definitely a good enough portion for 2. The slivers of salty proscuitto was nicely complemented with the pear, pecorino, and arugula.
The french style onion rings were SO good! Pomme frites with shaved pecorino were good as well but if you'e trying to be cautious with the fried stuff then you definitely definitely have to get the french style onion rings which came in a delicious heap of thinly sliced and lightly battered goodness. We also ordered the rapini and the farm beets. I'm not a fan of rapini so can't comment on it as I did not have it, but the beets were simple and good.
I had the Grilled Rock Cornish Hen as my main and it was really really tasty! The meat was tender and not dry at all. The amount of rosemary was just right! The tasty bits of bacon with beans was a nice touch. I was so full but determined to finish it because it was so good! My sisters got: the scallops, "rare" hanger steak, and braised beef short ribs. I sampled all of them and they were very good as well! I'd only recommend getting the Grilled Rock Cornish Hen if you have an appetite because it was quite filling.
For dessert we had the flourless chocolate fudge cake and the quebec yogurt panna cotta. both did not disappoint. I'm more of a chocolate person, so the flourless chocolate fudge cake was my fave. It was so light yet still rich enough. I couldn't believe it was flourless!
Overall, it was a great experience and the atmosphere was good as well. Service was lovely and professional. When you first walk into the restaurant, there's an optional coat check which I think is a nice courtesy. I'm not one of those "coat check" kind of people but I guess it's nice especially for those winter nights. The space is quite modern and much bigger than you'd expect. I felt that there was a mixture of people there, as in young, old...willing-to-indulge-on-occasion and indulge-is-the-regular-routine types. Although to be honest, I focused more on the delicious food and the good company! It might be a good idea to plan ahead and make reservations. The bottom line is if you're looking for fine dining that's still reasonable than you should definitely go here. It was certainly worth it and i can't wait to go again!
