The menu was rather simple and straightforward, though I wouldn't really classify this as a "bistro" in the traditional sense.
Grilled Octopus with sumac and mint puree ($158): Two pieces of tentacles placed artistically on top of the mint purée. The flavor of the octopus was quite strong on its own but was well-balanced by the mint purée. The texture of the octopus was wonderful, soft yet a little bit chewy.
Gravlax ($138): Smoked salmon has always been one of my favorites. The piece of toasted brioche seemed to have been soaked with honey. Good match with the dill marinated salmon.
Icelandic cod fillet ($258) with cauliflower purée: The cod was firm and flaky, just like how a good piece of cod should be like. Despite the butter, the taste of the cod would still have been quite bland by itself. Fortunately, the cauliflower purée really transformed the whole dish into something wonderful.
In comparison, the Casarecci with tomato ($178) was not as impressive as the cod. The pasta was springy but the flavor was rather one dimensional, chili and tomato.
Kale ($58) Braised with brine. Preferably steamed as it retains the highest amount of nutrients in this super food. I did feel a surge of energy after having half of this pretty large bowl of kale.
Fried Lemon potatoes ($68): very crunchy outside and soft inside. Perfect with the aioli. The little one loved it.
All the servers were friendly and helpful. They were quite keen on listening to customers' recommendations. I suggested that they should add some lamb dishes to the menu.
The bill came down to about $900. Other than the pasta, we were pretty happy with the rest of the food. Overall it was a satisfying dining experience. The drinks area looked pretty comfy as well.
Worth a try.
