Gratify

Been meaning to try them, and lucky to have an opportunity to squeeze in there for dinner.

We got lucky to get a small little table by the door.  Kids, let this be a lesson of planning head and make reservation.  In our case, we happened to be in the area and stopped in.  

Got the Aperol Spritz - which is orange aperitif, Prosecco and club soda.  Nice and easy going cocktail there.

This is Lobster & Crab Mac n' Cheese.  Yes please!!!  I can eat this whole thing by myself... it was delicious and plenty meat to go around.

Then we have Oyster Rockefeller.  There are breadcrumbs and cheese, of course oyster.  I love this whole thing except I ate it too quickly and burnt the tip of my tongue.  

We got the Wagyu Carpaccio.  This is kinda interesting.  First off, I don't do too many beef carpaccio, but they fried the mushrooms, caper, and sprouts.  What's interesting is that they have a bit of coarser salt and mix with the crunchy mushroom with the beef, it gives it a nice combo of flavor.  It's hard to describe and something you must try. 

Then, we shared the lamb meatballs, it's not game-y, and the tzatziki sauce has a kick to it.  It's kinda interesting.  You want to have it with the sauce, but the sauce goes down spicy.  Not a bad dish, just different.

Got the Pot de Creme, which has a layer of caramel on top with cream and butterscotch at the main.  So, it helps if you grab a spoonful of all 3 flavors in one go. 

I also got a cup of coffee to go with it.  But it took them a very long time for that coffee, which was kinda weird.  I will say, the tables are small, so food comes out in courses.  Your server/sommelier is very knowledgeable about pairing and can help guide.  Service is top notch, and no complaint there.  But as I said earlier, do make a reservation, especially now that it's a tad cooler out.  Don't get caught in the cold.
