it is with a slap to the cheek that i write this entry as i have lived a block away from this restaurant and never tried it until last week. really? throwing distance and i wasn’t there?
after numerous positive reviews from friends i finally caved and went for a late supper with my friend bill. we perused the menu and came to simultaneous, mutual decisions but alas, many of the offerings were out of season. no monkfish liver pate for the summer. instead, we went with a succulent and unctuous pork belly that was topped with tiny dollops of kewpie brand mayo. the two of us were left drooling and ready for more. octopus balls were well seasoned, perfectly fried and a fantastic blend of crispy and chewy. we finished with an order of the salmon bombs - small slivers of raw fish topped with innovative ingredients all on rice beds. the fried chicken was mediocre - we didn’t bother with this as we were content with every thing else.
i am certainly returning to try other dishes. in the interim, please feel free to suggest entrees i should order. thanks!
