A friend of mine was in between choosing a spot to have her birthday dinner and she ultimately ended up choosing this place based on their drink and dessert menu.
For drinks we got, bites the dust, permanent vacation, and style & grace. Both of us agreed that out of the three drinks, style & grace was our favorite, hands down. We decided that we'd come back just based on this drink alone!
After browsing the menu, we decided to order the lamb ribs, Turkish manti, and the agnolotti to share. The lamb ribs were okay, a bit more charred than what we were expecting. The Turkish manti was good, we loved the sauce, it paired nicely with a side of bread. The agnolotti was okay, lighter than what we had in mind.
For our main entrees, my friend got the half-roasted chicken, while I got the Iberico pork chop. We also ordered the potato puree and heirloom carrots as sides. My friend said that unfortunately, her roasted chicken was a bit on the drier side. I thought the pork chop was good, had a nice crusting on it, and it wasn't dry which is always a plus, but I didn't care for the accompanying sauce. The potato puree was probably our favorite, it's hard to go wrong with potatoes and cheese, the consistency was just right, not too mushy. My friend said the heirloom carrots were okay, but I ended up really liking them and I usually don't like carrots.
For dessert, we ordered the strawberry freezecake and the open sesame. After trying a bite of each other's desserts, we decided that the strawberry freezecake was good as a whole, while the open sesame was good in parts but was a bit overwhelming in contrasting flavors as a whole.
Overall, service was great, very friendly, and we didn't feel rushed at any point during our time here. The ambience was inviting, comfortable with modern décor and lots of natural light streaming in. You also get a nice view of the sunset during dinnertime!
