Description

Weekly visits to this gastropub might not be enough. Truly, few restaurants feel this relaxed and cook with so much gusto. Are you curious about those chickpea fritters with lemon mascarpone and wasabi or the truffle gnudi with pesto? You should be. Sea bream ceviche with chili oil is as bold as lamb vindaloo dumplings. In the end, no one cuisine can claim this endlessly tempting menu that delivers hearty, unfussy flavors in abundance. And yes, the burger is as good as it looks, the tender patty made with beef cheek, grilled, and served on house made brioche smeared in gochujang mayo. In total
