Appetizer
As an appetizer, one should try their “Tuna Tartare,” which is served with guacamole and micro greens.
Their Greek Salad (Tomato, cucumber, red onions, olives, feta cheese, and parsley) and Caesar Salad (comprised of lettuce, crouton, and Caesar sauce) were also memorable, though the Caesar Salad would have tasted slightly better had its shrimp been either grilled or seared.
Their “Spaghetti Bolognese,” served with ground beef and red sauce, was exquisite and the portion of it was quite generous.
Main course
Their “Grilled Steak” was accompanied with arugula salad and cherry tomatoes, and the meat was tender.
The same holds true for their “Lamb Chops,” which were marinated well and juicy, as they were served with mashed potatoes, cherry tomatoes and carrots.
Desserts
For dessert, one should definitely try their “Cheesecake,” which is creamy and scrumptious, their “Fruit Platter” as well as their “Chocolate Mousse Cake,” which is truly delectable.
