Food: 3/5
1. Roasted corn and crab bisque: 4/5
This was the highlight of the meal. It had a wonderful texture, balanced flavors, and was a bit light on the crab. It warmed us right up on a cold evening.
2. Classic wild mushroom risotto: 3/5
This tasted like something that was made quickly and at scale. It felt like an “idea” of what a risotto should be. It was surprising to see the Parmesan cut in sad rectangles and placed haphazardly on the dish, which isn’t what you’d expect when you’re paying $32 for it.
3. Pappardelle alla Bolognese: 2/5
The bolognese was disappointing. The sauce tasted like it was made out of a can and it was not seasoned well at all. Same point as above with the sad Parmesan rectangles.
The portions are generous.
Service: 4/5
The service was quite good, with the host and waiter both making our experience as pleasant as possible.
Ambiance: 4/5
This was a cute spot, filled with a mix of couples, families, and friends dining out. There is also an outdoor dining area that is dog friendly.
Attaching the seafood linguini (last item from the menu). One was extremely saltier than the other (noticed the big difference in color of the sauce; as captured in the picture attached). Brought it up to the waiter more of a FYI as I had already finished the dish; noticed it’s very different both in the color and the taste when compared to my brother’s same dish. Instead of just acknowledging my observation, the server kept telling me that I should have spoken up earlier and that it’s normal since the color could be caused by the lobster broth… I was looking for solely an acknowledgement not a discussion. Even said to him that I am not trying to ask for anything since I’ve already finished the dish. Not the professionalism that I would expect at a restaurant like this…
The owner came out later to acknowledge the differences in quality, apologized for the experience, and offered to take the pasta off of the receipt at the very end. This was more of a customer service that I would expect from a restaurant like this. Thank you to the owner.
