This cozy little bistro tucked on a side street is not to be missed. The host settled us into side…read moreby side settings on one of the love seats, and suggested his own spritz cocktail-- a sweet, herbaceous concoction of red and white wines, some other things, and "no aperol!" that was reminiscent of a sophisticated birch beer.
The entire menu looked irresistible, but we decided we would order 3 starters and dessert.
The special appetizer was a creamy wild mushroom sauté with housemade chicken stock and a foie gras option, which we ordered. We also ordered the scallop appetizer and the charcuterie planche.
Every single thing we ate was exquisite. Our host, who was also the server. brought each appetizer out as a course beginning with the scallops.
They were delicious (although it would've been nice to have had one or two more scallops on there).
The mushroom appetizer could have gone on forever as far as I was concerned. Truthfully, we should have stopped there.
I did not realize that the charcuterie planche was really enough for four people. We ended up picking at it, but taking a lot of it home for breakfast the next day. Sadly, we did not leave room for dessert.
My boyfriend had a Chardonnay from Ontario, which was sweet but paired nicely with the scallops. I had an orange wine, which I had never had before, but it was the suggestion of the host, and it was really delightful with the charcuterie.
Great service, delicious food, sweet, sweet spot. Truly, I love this little restaurant, and if I lived nearby, I would be a regular.
