by Kelsey W. on Came here after being disappointed by nearby places. The drinks were good, nothing special though - price or quality wise. The live blues were pretty awesome and we sat and enjoyed the music for awhile. The harmonica was especially impressive. Probably not the best place for a long chat, if you actually want to hear what anyone is saying. I'm glad that we went, but I don't really feel the need to go again.
by Emily R. on How in the world have I not been here before? I mean, sure I've heard people talking about it, but I guess I just wrote it off. My loss. This was one of the better dining experiences I've had in awhile. We started with the giardinera, which was some of the best I've ever had with crunchy carrots, cauliflower, and fennel etc. in a slightly sweet but still tangy brine. We also enjoyed the fried goat cheese which was surprising because the coating was so thin, not like a typical batter, leaving really just the texture and taste of the cheese, nicely complimented by the honey and pepper. The mizuna salad with good English cheddar and soft roasted pears was also tasty. I had the duck confit pasta, very simple but beyond rich due to the incredibly meaty jus. I also tried a special fettucine with escarole, blood orange, fourme d'ambert and pine nuts. It sounds like it would be a very flavorful dish, but it wasn't. I didn't get any citrus flavor at all and even the cheese was fairly muted. It was still tasty though because you can't go wrong with good fresh pasta. Somehow we managed to save room for dessert. I ended up with the chocolate caramel tart due to peer pressure and it was nice with the fennel pollen crust and creme anglaise, but the real stars were the exquisitely bright fruity tangerine sorbet and the olive oil straciatella. The dairy cuts the bitterness of the olive and allows the fruit flavor to shine through. Because it was fairly late and service was winding down we had a chance to talk with David the Chef de Cuisine and I was really impressed with his thoughtful approach to food. I am definitely a convert and can't wait to come back and see what this kitchen dreams up next and especially look forward to warmer weather when we can take advantage of the gorgeous patio.
