| Porcini Scallops: Scallops encrusted with porcini mushrooms, fresh Thai chili tomato sauce - 3 J's comment > perfectly cooked scallops; our server made an error and got us one extra plate on the house, so we each had one full portion |
 |
| Burrata salad (special of the day) - 3 J's comment > note to self, burrata is the way to go, not Bufala |
 |
| Souffle di Cavolfiore: Roasted cauliflower souffle with a truffle pecorino cheese fondue - 2+ J's comment > good flavours, but the souffle had sunk by the time it reached our table |
 |
| Penne arrabiata tossed with a Tuscan chili tomato sauce - 2+ J's comment > I generally don't like penne pasta, but this dish was cooked perfectly |
 |
| Pheasant and Foie Gras Terrine: House made with balsamic cipollini onion, pomegranate jelly, micro greens & grilled crostini - 2+ J's comment > I prefer spreadable foie gras, but the combo of everything was great |
 |
| Tiramisu - 3 J's comment > Delish! (FYI this was with compliments from the house) |
 |
| Bread & butter - 3 J's comment > loved the butter, but needed to wait for it to melt a bit to spread. Cheesesticks were divine. |
