I came here for a dinner with my girlfriends. The ambience isn't spectacular and if you get seated near the kitchen you feel like you're going to leave smelling of food (you probably won't) but the service is impeccable and the food is very tasty. We split a few things and ordered the duck liver pate, polenta fries, small roasted carrot salad, small brassica caesar salad and the small Chioggia beet salad. I can honestly say that the food was delicious and quite filling. The duck liver pate would have disappeared immediately if we didn't take the time to savour every delectable bite. The polenta fries were a great twist on regular fries, with just enough of a tomato sauce accompaniment so that they stayed crisp, and ensured that you didn't ruin the flavour by over-dipping. I couldn't get enough of the roasted carrot salad: spicy and sweet, nutty with a bit of a balanced acidity. So good. The brassica caesar was a very different take on the classic Caesar salad; served as more of a slaw, with actual pieces of anchovies and more on the tangy than creamy side. I'm not sure if I can decide between this salad and the roasted carrot salad as my favourite because both were truly delicious. My least favourite was the Chioggia beet salad. I think it would have been better served with a goat cheese than labneh, but I suppose that would be less innovative. It was still a very good salad but the beets were quite sweet (as is the Chioggia beet nature), which I personally would have preferred balanced out with some acidity. My friends felt similarly.
Overall this place was very good and I look forward to going back to try more of the menu.
