β€œIt's great for shareable plate and date night, so get 4-6 dishes will be idea! We loved salad, freshly grated cheese created a umami taste and it was very refreshing! Pork was juicy and tender which we also enjoyed. Ragu was alright - way too al dente and salty in our opinion.”

β€œWe LOVED our dinner experience in their cutest backyard, super peaceful and memorable! We also really enjoyed the food, the butter was out of this world, the baguette was amazing, the eggplant sesame dip was delicious, the smoked date provolone farinata was insane, the Caesar salad was perfect, the cabbage dish was soooo mouthwatering and my favourite dish of all, followed by the bean puree and the crazily yummy sourdough bread next to it as rank two! I didn't try the rib chops but my friends were dying for it loool The only thing I didn't like (but the rest of tbh party did) was the trout crudo, for which I blame Theodora for shooting my expectations for crudos to the roof! Also I couldn't get my head around the price for that little amount of harissa, which wasn't even that special, neither were the fries (and this one, everyone else was on the same page as me) Oh and there was this empanada shaped dumpling bread dish that we loved but don't recall the name. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal and we will be back :)”

β€œDelicious and refreshingly original take on lunch and brunch. Every dish is refined and inventive, blending different cuisines and flavors in a way that really works. Most of our dishes had a subtle kick. The experience felt energizing compared to the usual predictable brunch scene.”
