I made reservations sometime like two weeks ago for my fiance and me. It's a quiet restaurant, nestled in a nice neighborhood, the outdoor decor theme being fairy lights. It seems like a quaint, romantic restaurant, which makes it perfect for date night. I ordered the butternut squash soup as appetizer and the arctic char for entree. He ordered the cheese and tomato and the ravioli for entree. While the dishes were pretty pricey, everything was absolutely divine. They cooked the fish so perfectly – crispy skin and juicy meat. The plate was left so clean. We shared a coffee ice cream, which was good as well but I doubt it was homemade. It's an expensive place but you get your value here. Service was great – can't complain. It did take longer than it should have to bring the check but I would definitely recommend the place.
I love chef owners. Everything is just better, many levels higher on all angles. Many years ago I decided to try this place after driving by it a number of times. It's easy to miss, which in a way is good because you get regulars! I too have become a regular – average once a week, max was 3 times in one week.
So about the food… the pastas are just amazing! I have been to maybe one Italian place that cooks pasta this well. Pasta is easy to mess up, because it's so simple, so just cook it simply. That's what Chris does. Quick note: my wife is not a big fan of pasta, and it's the only restaurant in the world where she goes back (every week) for pasta!
Anyway, my fav is the Wild Boar Pappardelle! I have probably had it 200 times and with all kind of modifications, and now I order it as is on the menu, no changes!
The small plates are also just excellent – low on price and big on flavor! It's a must with any meal. Our given order is the mozzarella and the panino. If you like chicken liver, this is the place – it's made in house and very well balanced. Most other places are too thick, or too dry, or too salty. This one is perfect, they should bottle it!
I also love the Braised Short Ribs – much better than anywhere else. It's my default if i'm not having carbs for dinner. The fish too is excellent, all of it.
The secret is to go back to this place 3 times within a month to get a true feel, plus they will get to know you. Then it feels like your neighbors house!
I could go on and on and on but it's that point again for the quick readers…
