We went here for a fancy date and it was amazing. This restaurant is small with only 8 tables so it had an intimate feeling. The atmosphere had soft dim lighting which made it feel romantic and fancy. We ordered an appetizer, entreé, and dessert. We spent 1.5 hours here total. The food was delicious. I spent $CA106 before tip. For an appetizer we shared the single charcuterie board which was the perfect size for a two to share. It was my favorite dish of the night. It had so many complimentary and different flavors and so many different foods on it. I was very happy with it. I rate it a 10/10 and my partner rated it an 8/10. For an entrée I got the slow cooked lamb and my partner got the mussels aglio e olio. We both really enjoyed ours. I give mine a 9/10 and my partner gave hers a 10/10. The lamb was reminiscent of how soft beef gets when stewed. The sauce and vegetables that came with it were so flavorful and a perfect accompaniment to the lamb. The mussels aglio e olio was a little spicy and came with lots of mussels. The pasta was flavorful on its own with the light sauce. For dessert we ordered the house made chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. The dessert came with 3 scoops and tasted homemade. The vanilla tasted different than store bought and I imagine the flavor is from actual vanilla beans. I though the ice cream was okay. I liked that it was homemade but I found it was just an average ice cream. I gave it a 5/10 but my partner liked it and gave it an 8/10. The service was average-good. It was above average but wasn't mind blowing. The server was nice and chit chatted with us a little about each thing we ordered. I did notice that the bigger group of people eating across the restaurant appeared to have great service and they seemed to really enjoy it. So I think the service here is good. Because of the small nature of the restaurant it did get loud and I found myself having to lean forward to hear my partner speaking. Something we didn't partake in was the very large selection of alcohol. Half of the menu consisted of cocktails, mixed drinks, beers, and wines. The variety was impressive and it seems to be something they are known for. They had unique and unusual ingredient combinations that I imagine would be fun to try if one is interested in trying new mixed drinks. The bathroom is outside the restaurant and all the way down the hallway in the same building. I would definitely come here again. I loved the food, fanciness, atmosphere, and price. I would definitely recommend this for a date night.
