Made reservations for 7:15 and was able to be seated nearly 30min early on a Friday night. Our waitress on the second floor was extremely attentive and friendly and made the experience 1 star better. She was knowledgeable about Gluten intolerance and celiacs, recommending certain dishes at the start of the meal. We started with the Beef Satay, Octopus, Crab Dip, and Grilled Peach and Ricotta salad. The Beef Satay was okay, pretty much just a normal beef skewer - 3.5/5. The Octopus was cooked well but would’ve been better if it had a bit more of a char on it. Overall flavors of the dish were great though with the sauces and roasted potatoes - 4:5. The Crab Dip had a nice subtle flavor that wasn’t overwhelmingly fishy - 4.5/5. The Grilled Peach and Ricotta salad was light and refreshing - 4.7/5. For our entrees we had the Seared Scallops, Seafood Paella, and The Butcher’s Cut. The Scallop entree was good but unfortunately the sauce/puree really softened the scallop so you didn’t get that nice seared texture. It also could’ve used a few flakes of salt. Overall quality was nice and the cauliflower was nice touch - 4.2/5. The Seafood Paella had good flavor. You could taste the different spices and all of the seafood had a good cook on it. A few pieces of the sausage in this dish were a bit on the tough side - 4.8:5. The Butcher’s Cut would’ve easily been a 4.8 if they had not pre-sliced the steak ahead of time. By the time it reached the table it was a bit on the drier side. The butter helped a bit, but would’ve preferred the cut of meat to be whole instead - 3.6/5. We ordered two additional sides for the table, the asparagus and duck fat potatoes. The asparagus was 4/5. The duck fat potatoes were 4.8/5. Lastly, we ordered a crème brûlée, coffee and wine. The crème brûlée was a solid 4.8/5. The coffee was amazing according to my table mate who ordered it. Our waitress also had a very impressive table-side pour for it. Overall would give our visit a 4.6/5 rating. Will definitely come back again.
