the most perfect pasta dish ever. lobster claw meat, scallops, fresh pasta - pappardelle (wide flat noodles). a champagne cream sauce. absolutely amazing. the fresh pasta is so light and balances perfectly with the creamy sauce (very fresh, you can still taste the creamy buttery-ness). scallops were lovely - lightly cooked, just enough. i could eat this forever!!
atmosphere is really nice, although it's a small place. salads were good - the creamiest buffalo mozzarella in the caprese salad. an arugula salad with fresh lemon just exactly right for spring.
my fiance had a pork tenderloin with a dark sweet fig sauce & cheesy risotto. the sauce was so complex, so many layers of flavor. i have never had anything like it and it really complimented the pork.
coffee is good too - very strong, rich flavor, the only downside is that i was up til 5am the next day and not even tired.
the other bad thing is the meat-pounding in the kitchen. i am sure they are making some culinary gems, bu tpunding the meat right before cooking means the diners are greeting with a steady thump-thump-thump throughout dinner. still, the only bad thing. they even had the owner playing an accordion and some birthday wishes for a nearby table.
this is a rather upscale place, a little pricey but so so worth it. the kind of pasta you thought only existed in your dreams!
