I have loved this place from the first time I went to it a few years back. Tonight’s meal was the best I’ve ever had there. Both my App and Main were Specials. I started out with the Grilled Spanish Anchovies served with a green tomato salsa, preserved lemon and olive oil. The combination was very tasty, the lemon and salsa were a perfect accompaniment to the nicely charred fish. For my main I went with the Braised beef short ribs served with baby tomatoes, white beans and salsa verde. I have one word for it. Awesome! I finished up the meal with a Chocolate Pot du Crème served with peanut brittle. A very nice dessert. I broke off pieces of the brittle and scooped up the chocolate with it. Mmm good. My better half seemed equally happy with her meal. She started off with the Prince Edward Island Mussels, which are sautéed in a garlic-chili-seafood broth. This is a good sized App, so if you’re not big eaters you could probably share this one. For her main she chose the Fresh local rockfish served with apple wood bacon potato hash and baby bok choy. She ate everything on the plate, so you know it must have been good. She finished the meal with Vanilla Crème Brulee served with Chocolate cookies. The cookies taste good, but are shaped like dog bones for some reason.
Can’t wait to go back for my next meal.
