Had an absolutely brilliant night at this place yesterday. The service was top-notch, and they paired it with a lovely Italian white that just worked with every course. One minor thing though — a couple of the tables are absolutely minuscule, and ours was one of them. The plates had to come one by one because there simply wasn't room, but honestly, once we got used to it, it wasn't a bother. Started with the gravlax of salmon — fresh, with marinated celery and green grapes, served under this silky ajo blanco that was just perfect. Then the scallops came out, and honestly, that was my favorite dish. Green peas and lardons with a beautiful buttery green sauce — everything just worked together perfectly. We finished with the pork confit with blue cheese butter, and here's the thing — definitely save this for last. It's proper rich and hearty between the pork and that intense blue cheese, so you want it as your closing course. The combination of the salty blue cheese and the richness of the pork made it quite overwhelming, but in the best way really. Just a lot to take on, especially after the other dishes. It was genuinely very good though. The only letdown was dessert. The sbricciolata al limone felt a bit dense and heavy, nothing special really. But that's honestly the only complaint from an otherwise brilliant meal. We'll definitely be going back.
