“Small Plates: Some hits & Some misses. Weekday 5-6 $1 Oysters (see more below)”
Favorites:
- potato rosti, clam dip
- Dip wasn’t very clammy, but this dish was very good
- octopus ala plancha, fregola, pickled cipollini, salsa verde, crispy garlic
- Very good, but only one tentacle for $19! Everything on the plate was delicious
- roasted cod, rumbledethumps, crispy cabbage, cider sauce
- Delicious, but not much food for $23
Good, not great:
- carrots in a pinecone(?) BBQ sauce
- carrots were cooked great and this was tasty, but tasted more like a side dish than a small plate
Didn’t care for:
- acorn squash a la plancha, ricotta, marjoram, walnuts
- squash was cooked perfectly, but this was a mediocre dish
- coconut rice pudding, poached pear, crispy rice
- This was pretty horrible
