What a pleasant surprise! My friend picked this place for our couples dinner. I had looked at the menu online and thought it seemed alright, wasn't super excited about it though. Fortunately, this ended up being one of the best meals I have had this year and I really want to go back!
This is a tiny place, pretty cramped inside. Next time I would request outdoor seating. Our server was very slow in the beginning, but by the time the food started arriving, she was more attentive.
For starters we had the Burrata and the Carpaccio. Both were FANTASTIC. Loved the honey roasted acorn squash and the pistachios that came with the burrata. The carpaccio - oh wow! When it was set in front of us we all commented on how thick it was. I decided to be the brave one and take the first bite. Yes, it's thick, but it's also grilled on one side so it isn't just a thick piece of raw beef. We all loved this appetizer, especially the gribiche sauce that topped it.
One of my friends had their Sweet Gem salad and shared it with the table. I can never resist a grilled salad, and this was one of the best I have ever had, I couldn't stop sneaking bites off the plate. The dijon vinaigrette, prosciutto, and pickled onions made this salad delicious.
For my main course I had the Hanger Steak with shallot sauce. Absolute perfection! I asked for it medium rare and it was spot on. The sauce was so rich and yummy, but I was fine eating the steak on it's own. I tried bites of everybody else's food - Beef Cheek, Ribeye with blue cheese sauce, and Toulouse Sausage with mashed potatoes - all wonderful.
Our sides were Sautéed Green Beans and Butcher's Fries. The beans were excellent, soooo garlicky. I took the rest of them home to eat with my leftover steak the next day. Butcher's Fries had salty, thick, pieces of bacon on them and lots of cheese.
Of course, we ordered dessert. Chocolate Mousse and Creme Brulee. Both were nice, on the "lighter" side which was great cause I was full and couldn't imagine eating a heavy dessert. I really liked the contrast of sweet and bitter crunchy chocolate pieces on top of the mousse.
I didn't pay the bill, but I did notice the prices on the menu were much lower than I expected. My husband paid our half and said he was happy about how affordable this dinner was. I really do hope we come back here, it was such an excellent dinner!
