A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
Great Italian restaurant. Although a sit down restaurant, it had really chill waiters and staff.
Started off the an espresso martini. Man was it the best espresso martini I’ve ever had! Got a lemon drop for my second drink.
For apps, we got bread and patatas bravas. Both great.
For my mains, had the French onion soup and the seafood linguini. Both excellent choices.
We came to this place after a day of snowboarding.
For the most part, everything was great here except for one thing.
To start, it got the pornstar martini (peach based drink with a shot of champagne you pour in). This drink was great. Also got a lemon drop.
For appetizers, I got the wings (wings were good, but we had to ask for more sauce. Got the BBQ and something mustard). Also got the poutine (gravy was interesting, but still liked it).
For the main, I got the chicken fingers off the kids menu. I didn’t like them. They were not crispy enough (which is saying something coming from me), and something about them seemed too bland.
We went here for tapas and drinks, and I would definitely come back.
We ordered a bunch of dishes. The best ones by far (although the other ones were good as well) were the mushrooms, the meatballs, the and the octopus dishes.
For drinks, I got a lemon drop. Next time I would try their specialty ones on their menu.
This is one of the restaurants I wanted to try as I was walking along the Embarcadero. I gotta say, not sure if I’d come back, mainly since I didn’t like my main dish.
I got the penne, and asked them to add chicken. I think I was expecting more of a tomato sauce rather than an oil based sauce.
They also do have a full bar, so that is one plus (except no lychee, so I got a lemon drop).
Definitely would come back to this place, especially for Happy Hour (which ends at 6pm).
For drinks, I ordered the lemon drop (it was so good I got 4 of them!). They’re only $6 during happy hour.
For the appetizers ($8 each), the shrimp cocktail and the calamari were great choices.
For the main, I got the $30 prime rib with the clam chowder. The clam chowder was great, it the prime rib was just ok (I’ve had better). I think I would order something else next time.
