Great meal and service
Jan 1st, 2024

Pretty disappointed in our meal last night. I used to come here all the time for oysters and cocktailsand I think thats maybe the best to stick to. The halibut special I got was unremarkable and the vegetables were not very flavorful. When the highlight of the meal is the raw shellfish appetizer there is something wrong. Our party of four had two halibut specials and two pasta dishes and no one was pleased with the bland and lukewarm food we were served.

We booked a reservation for a Thursday night just a few hours before. We came in to what the hostess referred to as the best seat in the house - and it most definitely was. We were seated at a cute two person window at the corner of the restaurant. All the street facing walls are huge windows, giving a lovely view outside and likely a beautifully naturally lit atmosphere during the day. Outside the window next to us, we were able to see the street corner and the lights of the skyscrapers next to us. We started with the half seafood tower, absolutely devouring all the seafood they placed in front of us. Our lovely waiter let us know which oysters we were according to the name card they provided. I wish they gave us a tool to crack open the large lobster claw, but we got in there with a fork There was a lot of extra lobster meat hiding away in there! We also ordered the grilled Positano style octopus which came with an eggplant caponata and burrata which. Everything on this plate was absolute delicious. The burrata was so so good, that we ended up adding the burrata appetizer to our order. The burrata at this place just melts in your mouth and it tastes so fresh. The burrata appetizer came with a homemade tomato jam that paired so flawlessly. We also ordered the Pappardelle al Cinghiale which was made with wild boar, red wine, and porcini mushrooms. I was really craving a pasta dish with wide noodles so this menu item called out to me. The sauce was rich with lots of shredded wild boar meat and slices of mushroom. To wrap up the meal we had a deconstructed tiramisu which the server carefully poured the coffee liquor over and spread the mascarpone cream on top. We really loved this dish; the sponge cake was soft and the mascarpone cream was the perfect consistency. We also had an Italian Coffee and the Sicilian Coffee. They were cuter than I expected arriving in big glasses with whipped cream on top. We particularly loved the flavor of the amaretto which gave it a yummy almond taste. This was also a great place to enjoy a variety of Amaro. We ended up trying 3: a Sicilian amaro that was incredibly smooth, a powerful herbal amaro (which my boyfriend ended up loving even though I typically love the herbal ones), and one made from artichokes (which I found to be shockingly amazing).
