text: I have been looking forward to trying this place out for awhile now and I was not disappointed However I was not the one paying the bill so I guess I am a little more happy than others First off all the reviews about it being too expensive are pretty correct The portions in my opinion are perfect Nowadays people are so used to just ridiculously big portions that I think it throws them off when they get a in my opinion perfect size smaller sized portion I left there feeling perfectly satisfied and not gross and overstuffed nnWe decided to sit at the kitchen bar area which was really cool You can actually watch them make all their food and see them make their beautiful plates It is right in front of the kitchen so if you get hot easily you might not enjoy it as much The duecor was simple and very nice I do not know how I would feel if I sat at the community benches but I am just glad there was an opening at the bar area nnI ordered the pasta dish which was technically a medium sized dish as said on the menu and not an entruee size The noodles were thick and clearly hand made and the flavors were delicious To be honest I did not recognize half of the words on the menu so I just went with it and hoped that I would enjoy whatever was in the dish I was not disappointed and I did not really even figure out what all was in the pasta I am sure I could have asked but I felt like taking a risk when I ordered My date ordered the hanger steak entruee and graciously let me try a few pieces It was cooked perfectly with some great flavors My date had it cooked medium rare which is not my cup of tea but I would eat that steak everyday if I could The texture did not feel like it was completely raw yet it was juicy and flavorful Then we ordered the coconut dessert that came with peanuts and a butternut squash sorbet It was good but not entirely my cup of tea when it comes to dessert nnOverall I was pleased by the food duecor drinks and service This is not a place to come to regularly due to the prices being so steep but a nice place to come to for a special night out
