text: Okay I want to like it more than I do butwell let us just dig into the review First know that I went there for lunch on a Saturday not in the evening when it is in full swing so maybe I missed part of the ambiance but honestly I went there to try the food nnFirst I had the olives appetizer and based just on that this place would be amazing It was a small plate full of big meaty green olives obviously warmed in a bath of live oil and served with a light sprinkle of salt and oh so good I would go back just for these But an appetizer does not a meal make so let us go on to the main course and side dish nnFor lunch I had some sort of pasta which was advertised to have anchovies lemon and if i remember correctly hot pepper I also ordered a side of braised greens The pasta when it was served came in a large white bowl and honestly when I order a pasta dish over I prefer it to be wellplated on a plate The dish also contained sauteed fennel which while not unpleasant was not expected and it seemed it was a bit dry As for the braised greens also served in a large white bowl and that was it just the braised greens Some cracked black pepper and some shaving of hard cheese would definitely have helped round out the side dish though at I cannot complain too much but make it and bump it up a bit nnFinally the decor nothing really stands out Sen right next door has much more of an artistic edge so maybe they could kick up the look of the place a bit So take the review for what it is and if nothing else go in the evening for a glass of wine and the olive appetizer a steal at but overall it did not wow me as much as I expected from all the writeups
