Wow wow wow is all I need to say. Our group of 6 came here for an early dinner on NYE. The drinks, the food, the service, the atmosphere... all were fantastic!
The cocktails were really interesting. My favorites were the Johnny Utah and 11th Street Daiquiri (great fruity summer drink).
We split the Caponata and Whipped Beans antipasti as well as the Beef Tartare and Tuna Carpaccio for our appetizers. I forgot to get a photo of the antipasti and tartare, but they were our favorites of the apps. We all particularly liked the whipped beans and would highly recommend you give them a try. The carpaccio was tasty too, just not our favorite of the bunch.
For our entrees, we got the following: Tonarelli (uni pasta), Spaghetti (carbonara with pork confit), Gnocchi (with lamb), Grilled Octopus, Risotto (with bone marrow), and Lion's Mane Picatta. Each dish was flavorful and cooked beautifully. We all really enjoyed the octopus. However, I would say my favorites were the picatta and tonarelli. Considering that all 6 dishes were amazing, I don't think you can go wrong with any entree here.
Finally for dessert, we split the Chocolate Torte (with amaretto gelato), Chevre (goat cheese) Cheesecake, and the Grapefruit Thyme Sorbet. Our favorite was hands down the cheesecake, but all three were delicious and gave us a sense of very different dessert flavors.
Our server was absolutely fantastic. We always had water and drinks, her recommendations were spot on, and she was very friendly and helpful.
I can't wait to come back in the future to try more dishes.
