My boyfriend and I went in on a Sunday around 5:30pm with no reservations. We were greeted and seated immediately by friendly staff! Before arrival we made sure to be aware that it was a prefixed menu and each person is $78, and each is served their own 4 course meal.
Starter:
- Each person is served their housemade focaccia; it was extremely herby and light served with a tablespoon of herb butter
First Course: (we didn't get any photos)
- Salad of Arugula, the dressing was perfect (not too much), the nectarines, pistachios, and goat cheese all mixed in beautifully giving a tangy and slightly sweet presence.
- Watermelon salad: very lightly sweet, the tajin lime vinaigrette was a little too heavy, but loved the addition of red onions and cilantro, feta balanced it out adding a small touch of creaminess.
Second Course: (our favorite)
- Gnocchi with tomato concasse, packed with so much flavor in such a little dish. Gnocchi was perfectly soft and a small chew to it. Sauce was slightly roasty and garlicly.
- Ratatouille, the polenta was super creamy and rich, topped with flavorful veggie ratatouille which balances very well with a light drizzle of san marzano vinaigrette giving a nice basil tang.
Entrees (third course):
- Chicken Roulade, chicken was very soft and juicy even when rolled in a thin layer of crust, with a nice slightly sour sauce with a nice light hints of herbs (oregano, maybe thyme + rosemary)
- Wagyu Steak ($10 extra), meat comes medium rare (which I LOVE), very tender, served with light airy mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked green beans (cooked but still crunchy) dish was topped with a nice light and slightly creamy peppercorn sauce.
Dessert:
- Bread pudding, very light peach flavor with a nice sweet and creamy mascarpone. Personally I don't like the texture of bread pudding but my boyfriend enjoyed it, wish there was a little bit more peach.
- Sans Rival Cake, this was perfect for me, crunchy, sweet, nutty. Layered crunchy cake with a light cashew meringue, and pistachio buttercream. The pistachio really stands out with I enjoyed and a side of fig compote (almost like a fig jam) very sweet and very prominent flavor. I suggest using it lightly but very delicious.
Service: staff were very sweet and welcoming, they can offer details on each dish and are very helpful if in need of assistance.
Overall Experience: definitely date night vibes and very calm ambiance. More suitable for adults, I don't suggest bringing children unless you want to pay $78 for each child so make sure to do your research. Will definitely be returning, possibly for an anniversary dinner!
