Salt of the Earth Bistro-Lake Placid, NY

Such a gem! We will definitely be back. Each dish was a treat and the hospitality was amazing. From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed and taken care of. Although there isn’t a full bar the selection of beer and wine is outstanding. We did some à la carte off the tasting menu and it was amazing. Duck, salmon, and steak were amazing and perfectly cooked. Kids loved the deserts!

After an error in reserving another restaurant for NYE, we were scrambling for a spot last minute. After leaving messages and calling all over, Salt of the Earth called back! It was a perfect happenstance, ending up being our best meal in Lake Placid, and a lovely way to end the year. The location is just out of town, and easy drive. The unique decor, friendly and skilled staff, added to the amazing cuisine and drinks.

Had a wonderful experience here for Valentine’s Day. All of the food was exceptional and it was probably one of our best meals at Lake Placid the entire weekend we were there. The portion sizes were more than decent and both my partner and I left full. We also loved the ambiance of the place, there was a lot of interesting decor.

This is an intimate, wonderfully curated place to be. The food is delightful and incredibly thoughtful, without being ostentatious. My wife and I dined with our 7 & 9 year old sons, and we all enjoyed everything. The service was excellent, knowledgeable and attentive, without making us feel rushed, only incredibly cared for and welcome. We order a lot of food, because the menu was irresistible. It all tasted as good as it read. The ingredients were fresh and paired in a palette stimulating way, that show the kitchen cares about everything they present. Unfortunately, we were traveling though, otherwise I may live there. I could not recommend reserving yourself a meal here any more strongly. We all had a very good experience and can not wait til we are able to return. Thank you to all who made this experience for us.

Unique and interesting dinner experience. Friendly and knowledgeable service, quality meals and unique home/turned restaurant atmosphere. Nice wine and cocktail selection. The port (on the dessert menu) was fantastic! I recommend the salmon. Yum! You'll need a reservation, as seating is limited.

Took my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was an amazing spot service was 10 out of 10. The food was very delicious and we love the small town feel. The server was also very friendly. We definitely will come back here again.

As a Brazilian and a total dessert person, the very first thing that made me want to try Salt of the Earth was their Brazilian Carrot Cake with ganache and toasted coconut. It sounded like home. But little did I know that the entire meal would turn out to be one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. We started with the Beetroot Cheesecake, and wow—what a surprise. It was light, flavorful, with just the right balance of sweet and savory. Honestly, it was the kind of dish you take one bite of and instantly know you're in for something special. For the main course, we had the Bone-in Porterhouse Veal, which was the special of the day. Perfectly seasoned (I mean really, some restaurants forget salt exists—but not here!), and served with this creamy, dreamy buttermilk, golden raisin, spinach, and blue cheese risotto. Every bite was rich and comforting. The green beans were perfectly blanched, and the strawberry wine coulis added such a unique and delicious twist to the whole dish. Then came dessert—and it felt like a warm hug from home. The Brazilian Carrot Cake was moist, not too sweet, with that perfect crunch from the toasted coconut. I honestly got emotional—it tasted just like the cake my mom used to make. We also tried the Ice Box Lime Cake, which was fresh and light, and the warm oatmeal cookies, which were just pure cozy deliciousness. I even have to talk about the water! It was so refreshing and served at the perfect temperature. It might sound silly, but it really stood out to me. And our waiter, Mark—he was amazing. So kind and friendly, like someone you’ve known for years. He noticed we were struggling to take a photo and offered to snap one for us. When I mentioned how much I loved the water (yes, I really did), he made sure to keep my glass full all night. His little gestures made the night feel even more special. Salt of the Earth was by far the highlight of our trip to Lake Placid. Every part of the evening—from the flavors to the atmosphere to the kindness of the staff—made it unforgettable. I already can’t wait to come back.

After a few disappointing meals in Lake Placid we found this absolute gem. Everything was spot on from the bread service to the dessert. The stand out dishes were the Golden Beetroot Cheesecake and the Grilled Heritage Pork chop cooked to perfection. The dining room was warm and inviting and service was fantastic, would highly recommend dining here

The food here was so good I went twice during my trip to lake placid. The menu is creative, and every dish was delicious. Staff was friendly and attentive, and the space is eclectic and cute.

Everything was excellent. All the plates were empty. The food was amazing. Staff so friendly and welcoming. I'd totally come here again. I had the veal special and it was amazing. Others had salmon n lamb stew and no crumb was left behind. Awesome!

Over the last 20 or 30 years restaurants have come and gone. But over time the quality in Lake Placid, Saranac Lake and Tupper Lake has consistently risen. Many great choices. For fine dining each village has good options. For just good food they do as well. Tupper lake has Amado for the best culinary experience but the Wood Shed on Park is great and the Swiss Chalet is great diner food. In Saranac Lake the Left Bank, Fiddlehead and Sunset Bistro are excellent but don't miss the food at Bitters and Bones, the bowling alley and Blue Moon for breakfast and lunch. All that said, this is outstanding food and service. It is excellent in every way and has a fine wine list. If you can't get in, and you definitely should try, Cafe Rustica is a great option. Lake Placid has many other good choices but this is the best fine dining in town by far.

Excellent creative cuisine! We will definitely be back next time we visit lake placid!

Lake Placid is a beautiful place with so many interesting restaurants and Salt of the Earth Bistro is a standout. With short hours, a variety of dietary options, one waiter, and only 9 tables, you are sure to have a unique experience. For an appetizer, we ordered the Artisan Bread Plate for $11. I personally thought this was a bang for my buck because it came with three dips: a balsamic, a herbed hummus, and a flavored butter. If I recall correctly, the spread of the day was a honey butter with pepper. Of course, I did not try it, so I do not know if it was good or not. The hummus was delicious, and the bread it came with was warm. I also just love bread. For my main dish, I had the Irish Vegetable Stew for $30; Carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and parsnips stewed in an earthy, stout beer broth with barley. I think the stew could have had more flavor and texture to it, as it was a bit bland, but I enjoyed it anyway. I also hate mushrooms and the stew had big mushrooms so l had to be brave and eat it through the texture-induced nausea. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and it was the perfect place to spend our 2 year anniversary!

What a find. Excellent food. Attentive service. Ambiance was great. Will definitely return.

I'm leaving this review now, in 2024, for a visit we made on December 31, 2019. Just before the pandemic hit. I didn't realize that I had not entered the review and we feel compelled to do so now- 4 years later. The New Year's Eve meal was delicious! The service was impeccable and friendly. The ambiance was wonderful for my family. Check out the pics- delicious! (Yes, we still had pics on our phone four years later). So glad we noticed the missed review for our visit.

Amazing food, service, and ambience from start to finish. Loved the quirky decor and the food was so beautifully plated and delicious! The staff was so warm and welcoming and we enjoyed every minute. Thank you for a great evening. We'll be back next time we're in Lake Placid!

Wow what a great find. We were able to squeeze in at the last minute to this quaint place. The service was impeccable. Every staff member was on it. The food was amazing. I had the salmon which was prepared perfectly & served over a great orzo. My husband's Airline Chicken was incredible. It was crispy but moist. A must go to in Lake Placid.

I did not know that a restaurant could be so bad. Who puts kimchi with sweet potato, what a disgusting combination. The steak had an aftertaste of a public restroom. The potato gnocchi was bland and with zero flavor. My sister spent the whole night, throwing up in the bathroom. Duck fritters had a disgusting spice combo. People who think this restaurant is amazing must have never tried good food in their life. If you don't want disgusting food and food poisoning, I would avoid this place at all costs.

My mom and celebrated our birthday dinner here. We were greeted with a Happy Birthday message written in scrabble tiles. Our server was so sweet and responsive as well as another server that was also checking on us. The restaurant is an old house that has been renovated and it has a cozy charm with some neat touches. The pork chop was amazing! We also had the carrot cake and oatmeal raisin cookies to go. I could have eaten another three cookies they were so good!

150% loved everything about our experience here! From the extremely charming ambience to the wonderful service (thanks Mark!), we were comfortable and happy even before the amazing food. For apps we had the Roasted Beet Root cheesecake (YES! Amazing!) and the Cactus Sunset Salad--incredible. The Salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious. as were the special Veal Porterhouse and the chocolate hazelnut Crostata for dessert. Wish we lived closer so we could come back again sooner!

Visited lake placid for a few days and made sure we stopped to eat here based on their great reviews. This place did not disappoint! We also got the gnocchi dish with blue cheese and bacon, it was so delicious. My husband got the Prosecco cocktail which was similar to a mojito and very good. I like the interior a lot, there's a cheese grater chandelier and the register is on an old oven. Hard to judge the service because we came on an off season weeknight but we were taken care of very well and didn't waiting for anything. We def recommend this place to anyone visiting

This was a phenomenal dinner, our favorite in Lake Placid. I had come years ago when they first opened and was excited to come back. We ordered the crawfish etouffee, the ginger mocktail, salmon and lamb. Absolutely incredible. Our server, Mark, was also fantastic and shared many fun facts with us! For dessert, we ordered the back sesame dark chocolate tart. 15/10!!

Everything was fresh, high quality & delicious. Our server was knowledgeable, enthusiastic about the food & attentive.

The food was well prepared. The service was outstanding. The ambiance had a homey feel.

Phenomenal food, great service, amazing atmosphere. Well worth the prices! Definitely make a reservation for this place if you're visiting Lake Placid.

Salt of the Earth is an absolute gem. This feels like the food your grandmother spends all day making for you on a holiday. From the apps, to the entrees, to the dessert, we were blown away at the quality and flavor. The place itself is quaint and adorable as well. Staff were kind and knowledgeable about recommended cook times. Service was excellent as well. We will absolutely be back and you should add this to your list for your next Lake Placid trip.

We had the most incredible dinner here today. It's a cozy little dining room, but does not feel cramped. Our server was very helpful and just overall lovely. Good wine list, we enjoyed the bottle of Austrian red that we ordered very much. The menu was very interesting and what we got was so delicious - rabbit pâté, duck, vindaloo. I was actually so impressed by the perfect cook on the duck, but also the lentils and the cauliflower. Every single item was cooked to perfection, it was truly outstanding.

Great service and food in a house converted to a restaurant. Highly recommend and note, it is expensive.

What a wonderful, charming and delightful restaurant! The service is impeccable and highly knowledgeable. Our server was enormously helpful in suggestion a wine that would compliment both the duck with Indian spices and the aromatic boar stew. The food was simply amazing....perfectly prepared, elegantly seasoned...the spices were nicely balanced. Such a wonderful experience! We'll be back!

Outstanding food and ambiance, exceptional service and attention to detail. Excellent spot, highly recommend for a nice night out. Inventive menu with incredible food combinations and somehow still simple and not overdone. Absolutely go when in Lake Placid.

Fifth time dining here over the last few years- always consistently great food and a really unique menu. The chef does a wonderful job keeping a menu with interesting proteins (often venison, bison, as well as usual things like salmon, beef, etc.) and also vegetarian dishes. Food is always cooked and prepared perfectly. They have a great wine menu too. Inside has a great, cozy ambiance. We never miss an opportunity to eat here while in LP!

Such a special place. They do everything right! A very cozy setting in a charming house is very welcoming. Good wine selection... no liquor. We enjoyed the care the staff takes, how you are treated, and most of all the food.

Arrived on a chilly Lake Placid Monday. Couldn't get the door open because of the cold, but after knocking on the kitchen door we were promptly welcomed inside. Food was INSANELY GOOD! I ordered the swordfish filet which was the special of the day and my partner had the potato gnocchi. Hands down the best fish I've ever had in my life. I believe the menu changes quite frequently at this establishment, but the chef is AMAZING. Bathrooms hard to find.

One of the best places to have dinner in the Adirondacks. The staff there really knows how to make the diners feel like they are honored guests. The menu leans middle eastern, prepared with farm fresh ingredients. An absolute must to make a rez way ahead of time. This is really a special restaurant.

Truly a gem in every sense of the word. From the eclectic appointments (including a 1950s stove as you enter the joint..) to the low volume 50s-60s oldies to the gracious well trained staff. A wonderful salad with a vinaigrette topped w toasted julienned almonds...heritage pork chop (medium done right w a cajun inspired dirty rice)..and a merlot. Oh also a rabbit mousse for good measure. This is not a backwards cap tourist joint that plagues a lot of Lake Placid...people in here are soft toned, the wait staff are professionally trained and gracious, I have been to some gems up in the Adirondacks like the Left Bank in Saranac Lake...but this one really is a fantastic experience...

This is one of those "if I could give 1000000000000 stars I would" type of dining experiences. Holy moly - the best meal, ambience, and service I've experienced in a very long time. You have to venture past the ease of Main St to get to this spot, but it is absolutely walkable from town. We called for reservations and I would absolutely recommend this if you're able to plan ahead. The converted house has stylish decor, one of my favorite being the vintage oven they use for their POS system and refresh station. I also took a walk into the larger living room where they have a cute model Lake Placid and lots of framed photos. SO darling/cool/niche/curated - I was smitten. Our server was outstanding as she made recommendations and ensured we were enjoying everything throughout the duration of the meal. We went with a bottle of cab sauv that we were able to take with us back to the hotel when we were too full to finish LOL. We grabbed some Saratoga water as well (#CLASSY #SPARKLING)! We were totally overwhelmed by the menu, but ended up deciding on a salad to split, the infamous duck, and a life-changing special that was on, beef stroganoff over truffle mashed potatoes. When I tell you that every bite was somehow better than the last, I mean it! THIS SALAD. People. Almonds, white balsamic vinaigrette, grapes, berries, cheddar, mixed greens. Somehow the best salad I've ever had. I am not one to order beef stroganoff but the way the server spoke about it 100% sold me and I am SO GLAD she did. SO rich and delightful, my partner and I both did the awkward bite and moan and drop your fork after the first bite. The duck is as good as everyone says, not gamey with a yummy drizzle. PLEASE go out of your way to make this a top priority stop if you're visiting LP. Thank you to the entire team at Salt of the Earth Bistro for such a marvelous evening!

Go here!! AKA - call now & get your reservation!! Amazing food worth the price & a nice break from pub/bar food in town. It's a cute little renovated quirky house with only a few tables, but food is out of this world! Not far from Main Street but definitely a nice break from town. Also has a free private parking lot. We started with the bread plate & shrimp cakes. Everything was delicious, but the blue cheese/honey butter spread was addicting. The salmon entree was phenomenal! And I even was able to have the salmon cooked more on a rare side. It was so moist and delicious! The steak was also great (according to husband). My parents' reservation was actually here before our reservation (baby duty swap), and I texted my mom asking if a dress was appropriate or not. She said it would be an overkill, so I opted for jeans and boots! It's not fancy, but still definitely nice enough to where I would not be the guy that came in wearing flip flops ... like the guy last night. Don't get me wrong, I love flip flops but it's November. And he was no athlete coming from a sports practice either - haha. This was our best meal in Lake Placid. Hope you can make it part of your itinerary & enjoy!

Amazing epicurean experience. Think alpine cozy space with James Beard level food. The wild boar chops were grilled perfectly and extremely tasty.Nice wine selection. Awesome service too. Must go again type place for us.

This was our last night at Mirror Lake and we weren't sure what we were in the mood for. It's a Sunday night at 7:00 and we're trying to decide. This place scored highly on Yelp and Trip Advisor so we thought we'd try it. At 7:15 my wife called to see if we could still get a reservation and we were in luck- 8PM! It's off the main drag, in a cozy early-mid century house, according to our server, over the years was a farm house, b&b, and hostel. Now nicely renovated, the restaurant is celebrating its 5 years anniversary. No doubt it survived and is so successful because of the reputation of the chef and the taste and quality of the food. The decor is best described as eclectic and amusing. It was quiet and even somewhat romantic. The best part of a restaurant like this is that it has charm, personality, and only a dozen or so tables. Small enough that the chef can really control the quality. Refreshingly non-corporate. Now about the food! In a word fantastic. Just be sure to check the menu before you go, as it is somewhat limited and you might not care for some things (like venison). But keeping the entree selection limited also assures great quality. My wife and I shared the crab cake appetizer. 2 small crab cakes was good to share. We also ordered the bread, and it was delicious but way too much for just 2. Better for 3-4. I wish they had a half order at half the price. I loved the pork chop. Wifey had beef stroganoff (with a twist- over potatoes instead of the traditional noodles). She enjoyed it but likes her own better! Can't comment on the desert, too full-there was simply no room left. Anyway, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. If my review helped you, let me know with a like or comment.

I was lucky enough to dine here and the meal was scrumptious, the staff excellent...a fabulous experience!

This restaurant is AMAZING in every way! On a recent two-week vacation, this was the BEST restaurant my husband and I experienced. From the adorable and quirky decor to the friendly, attentive staff, they have found the recipe for a top-notch dining experience. And the food! Everything we ate was incredibly delicious. Even the coffee we ordered with dessert was extraordinary. Our only regret was that we weren't able to return a second time to try more of the items on the menu. If we lived in the area, we would be regulars!

We had a an amazing dinner here at this cozy bistro a few minutes drive from the hustle and bustle of Lake Placid's Main Street. Reservations recommended as they are a small place with attention to every detail. The servers were attentive without being intrusive. The food was amazing. We started with the artisanal bread basket that came with butter infused with blue cheese, olive oil & raspberry vinegar and a delicious roasted pepper dip. We moved on to the dill-liscious salad (yummy) and then I had the potato gnocchi of the day - handmade soft morsels in a creamy blue cheese sauce with bacon, spinach and dates. The portions were very generous and I ended up taking half of mine home in a lovely little compostable to go cup. My dinner companions had the duck breast and New York strip steak, respectively, both amazing with their accoutrements and perfectly cooked. We ended the meal with mango sorbet, warm chocolate chip cookies & a glass of port. Overall a wonderful dinner on our first night in Lake Placid! My only regret is that I was so busy enjoying dinner that I completely forgot to take pictures of the food! So, I've attached a photo of a little brochure they gave us at the end of the meal - it gives you an idea of how lovely the food was plated.

Michelin level food in a quaint, home style restaurant. On my family vacation I decided to look for a nice place to eat at with a few family members (I made reservations weeks in advance). The restaurant very rarely takes walk-ins and I highly recommend making a reservation. They don't do online reservations and only take bookings via telephone calls directly. I was able to secure a reservation for one of the few openings they still had. Upon first entry the restaurant is a repurposed home and it is incredibly quaint and cozy. The staff is incredibly friendly and the waitress was very knowledgeable of all the dishes whilst being personable. We started by ordering the bread plate appetizer which included oil and vinegar, butter etc. with a side of the tomato soup. The bread was fresh, warm and delicious and paired incredibly well by dipping into the tomato soup which was hearty and had a nice bit of spice that added heat. The pacing of the waitress bringing out our main dishes was perfect. Nothing felt rushed, but it didn't feel like we waited an excess amount between meals. For our main course we ordered the venison stew and the pan seared duck breast. The venison stew was delicious, rich and can only be described as comfort food in its purest form. Super balanced with a wonderful sweetness reminiscent of a winter time chili without being super heavy. The pan seared duck breast was absolutely stellar in every regard. It's been awhile since a dish truly wowed me and this one had me feeling as if I was sitting in a 3 Michelin starred restaurant. The duck was nicely sliced with the fat beautifully rendered. Laid out on top of a pea purée and green beans. I found myself chewing each piece for much longer than I would any piece of meat as the fat would release more and more flavor as I chewed. This was a real treat and a dish that will be talked about by me for a very long time. To finish the night, we decided to indulge in a dessert and went with the peach cobbler ice cream. It was sweet, inviting and had a lovely homemade whipped cream quennelle on top that I found myself being obsessed with. Not one member of our party had anything but positive things to say about or meal and it became the topic of conversation for the remainder of our night. With no exaggeration, I would drive hours to enjoy a meal like that again. I love everything about Salt of the Earth Bistro and will be back again next year for my annual trip.

Super cozy bistro with eclectic decor, great service, and divine food! A gem in this area and definitely can compete with my faves in NYC. Bread is a must order if you're a carb lover - perfectly fluffy, warm, crispy crust, with 3 spreads (herby olive oil and balsamic, garlic butter YUM, and a red pepper? spread) Ethiopian shrimp app was perfectly cooked and tasty, a bit more spicy than I originally expected so warning for anyone who can't handle spice. The duck and salmon entrees were delicious, again cooked perfectly and generous portions. Desserts - coconut cake is so light and spongy, with honeycomb crumble on top - perfect for anyone who loves desserts that aren't too sweet. Coconut flavor is subtle, not overpowering. Vegan chocolate chip cookies were also great, you wouldn't be able to guess that they were vegan. Recommend reserving in advance if you're coming on a weekend! Would definitely eat here again. Best food we had all weekend.

Absolutely amazing! Mark was an incredible waiter and beyond helpful. We had an unbelievable meal and felt very catered to. Would recommend to anyone!

I loved this place. Went here with a group of 4 others and we all ordered different things, and we all loved them. Service was great, food was great. What else can you ask for? I had the pork chop with smash potatoes and green beens and loved it all. I've been to Lake Placid more times than I can remember and had never been here before, but will certainly be back next time I'm in town.

Gem off Main Street! 5mins drive from Main Street Lake Placid. Must eat if you're visiting Lake Placid Food 5/5 Delicious! Fusion between African, Asian, Mediterranean and French. Every dish were unique and sumptuous. My personal fav were the carrot and parsnip hummus did and the duck! Cooked to perfection. The mud pie is a must to finish the meal. Vegan and vegetarian options available. Ambiance 5/5 Best ambiance at Lake Placid for a romantic night out. Cozy, dim lighting and great atmosphere. Spaced out properly as covid precaution. Service 5/5 Friendly and helpful. Everyone was wearing a mask. Call ahead and make sure you reserve due to reduced covid capacity

I came here with my boyfriend while on a weekend trip in Lake Placid. The restaurant is very charming and resembles a friends house. We got the bread basket and it was the perfect appetizer-it comes with 3 different spreads. I got the venison stew for my entree and it was amazing, I definitely recommend it!

Found this spot while searching for dinner places while in Lake Placid and was NOT dis-appointed. The food was excellent, however service was a little bit disappointing and thus the 4 star rating. After our food was served we kind of lost our server and the other server finally checked on us. Pre-occupied our server with other stuff - I noticed the other server had two tables in our area and kept checking laughing and talking to the patrons, ours just took order and kinda placed food on table and left. However based on food, I would return. Ethiopian Spicy Shrimp Berbere spiced shrimp served with jollof rice and a creamy peanut butter sauce $12 was excellent, was a little concerned over flavor but this was excellent. Summer Solstice Salad, Spinach & arugula, feta, quinoa, corn, red onion and hazelnuts and plum dressing Half. $7. Shared the half and it was also very good. Spouse enjoyed her Grilled Faroe Island Salmon, Served with warm tomato, leek and mustard French green lentil salad and lemon, caper sauce $30. Swordfish special was excellent. Juicy and was very good. Overall a nice evening and felt OK regarding their COVID practices.

So thankful for Salt of the Earth - phenomenal food, incredible flavors, perfectly prepared, and uncompromising in quality. I was only able to dine here one night and wish I didn't check out other places on my previous days. Place is super cozy and cute as well. Will definitely be back.

This is a foodie's paradise! Simple but sweet atmosphere. Chef Andrea creates food for the soul, and Liz presents it in a prefectly balanced friendly, attentive manner. This was an unexpected treat! The food was creative and delicious, while the service was literally perfect. It felt like we went to a friend's house and a Michelin rated chef showed up! Kudos ladies, truly well done! I highly recommend and look forward to coming back to Lake Placid, because this is the first place I will visit! Thank you both! Jeff

We had a phenomenal dinner here The Dennis's dill-lightful salad was great I had the Cornish hen and my wife had the Cod. Both were great! Chocolate silk pie to top it off Reasonably priced wines. Service was great Highly recommend, but there are only 9 tables

Outstanding! Adorable place. Very cozy and welcoming. Staff exceeded expectations- just incredibly friendly. Not only made excellent and appreciated recommendations for the food but split our dishes as we said we were sharing. Also have us some great tips for the area. We had the soup that my partner devoured. I had a half salad that was just the right start. Then we had the stuffed peppers. This was my absolute favorite. The flavors were layer perfectly!!!! We also had the wild boar spring rolls. Yummy! Then for our entree we split the cauliflower and tofu curry dish. Clearly (based on the starters) we are not veg but it sounded great and it was!!! Really creative and earthy. Finally we got the salted carmel dessert. It was good. But paled in comparison to the meal. We are still in town and actually plan to go back. The chef and the staff really deliver.

Everything was fantastic. Service, food, good wine/beer choices and atmosphere was excellent. You will not be dissappointed. 9-23-23

Best fine dining in Lake Placid. Duck is absolutely amazing. Save room for dessert. Restaurant is small so plan ahead.

Very good food and service. The cod is impressive. Duck please order medium rare. See my photos attached.

Nice service, great social distancing practice, super friendly and helpful servers, interesting food. I have no expectation of a fine dining experience at this little town but this place made it happen! We had to make a reservation 5 days ahead as this place was quite popular! Atmosphere: great for friend gathering and dating! Ambiance is very peaceful and romantic. Food: we tried a few dishes. Ethiopian spicy shrimp: this is the most spicy dish I ever had outside Asian cuisine. The taste is very interesting. It's spicy but not only spicy, there's also some refreshing green taste mingled in there: the rice comes with it had garlic in it, which adds a new layer of taste. Seared duck breast: I can't have medium rare at the moment so opt for well done. It's good, but a little stiff, but this is mostly because I didn't go for medium rare. The side are so delicious! The green bean is cooked so well which sits on my favorite grains: farro!! Venison stew: the best venison stew I had remained to be at one fine dining restaurant in downtown Toronto near St George street, but that could well be because it was winter and all you need was warm stew. This one came on top of corn grits, in it there were kidney beans. It says spicy and sweet but it came to me most with sweet, maybe the shrimp starter numbed my tongue. Coconut cake: i'm not sure whether they blend the coconut into the flour that made up the cake, certainly tasty, the cream on top is amazing.
