I came here for a little celebration dinner and didn’t realize it was a Michelin guide recommended restaurant!
Upon arrival, I fell in love with the decor and ambiance. The wooden furniture, the industrial lights, terrariums and candles on every table and the restaurant had no music. There were probably three other tables and a lady at the bar. It wasn’t too busy for a Saturday night. You get a QR code for the menu and cocktails.
Our server also happened to be the bartender and oh boy, he made some killer cocktails. If you’re into fruitier cocktails, I highly recommend the miso cosmo and the hibiscus watermelon margarita. Near the end of the dinner, I also tried a new cocktail (not on the menu) - it was a chrysanthemum mezcal margarita, it’s more on the smoky side. I like it and I love the effort and creativity placed in every drink.
We ordered a la carte (thank goodness) because we were starving. If you order the 6 or 10-course tasting menu, you’re looking at staying at the restaurant for the 2.5 hours/3 hours experience. We didn’t have time for that. $80 extra for wine pairings. If it’s your first time here, I highly recommend ordering a la carte so you know what to expect from their cuisine. Portions are small but very delicious.
The chef himself came out and explained every dish to us, which I always appreciate. We ordered the beef tartare, beet salad for appetizers and the risotto and the lake erie pickerel for the mains. The dessert was an apple cider vinegar lavender maple pie, also a killer dessert, I just wish the portion was bigger because it was so damn good.
I feel like each dish is more tapa style and more for sharing. Their portions aren’t meant to fill you up and quite honestly, we left the restaurant 60% full. 5 dishes and 3 cocktails came up to $185. It’s steep but we had a great time. The cocktails really made our dinner experience!
