The menu doesn’t adequately convey the complexity of the food here. We had an outstanding meal in this cozy Queen Anne restaurant. Simple dishes like sourdough bread come alive with spreads featuring fennel or roasted garlic and balsamic. The “bruschetta” is actually crostinia spread with smoked fish dip. And, most stunning of all, a pappardelle was infused with orange zest, mint, and chili oil. Truly the best pasta dish I’ve ever had.
Service by Martin was stellar. He was a great host, waiter, and informant about all of the dishes.
The bar is turning out great cocktails, while the wine list leans more toward austere whites and international reds.
While compact, the dining area is not overly noisy. Definitely exceeded our expectations.
