This restaurant is newly opened so I decided to give it a try. We arrived at 12pm and we were the first table of customers. By the time we left there were 2 other tables so it's very quiet during lunch time during weekends. The restaurant was pretty spacious and tables were not too close together so it was pretty cozy to eat and chill there.For starter, we ordered clams to share. The clams were fresh and juicy and the sauce was creamy which was a bit different from the usual white wine sauce

For starter, we ordered clams to share. The clams were fresh and juicy and the sauce was creamy which was a bit different from the usual white wine sauce.
For main, we ordered pork collar and tenderloin. Pork collar was nicely done. It was the right texture and full of flavor. It came with the right amount of fat too which I like. Tenderloin was was done to the right temperature although the beef flavor was not there. Portion of the main dishes were generally on the small side.
To end the meal, we ordered the brownie to share. We noted that it's priced at $125 so we thought at least it should be big enough for the 2 of us to share. To our surprise, when it's brought to our table it was a tiny little piece of brownie which was about the size of dessert that would usually come with the set meal but we actually ordered from the a la carte menu. When the server asked if everything was OK with the meal we told him that we were a bit shocked by the small size of the brownie which costs $125 while the clams cost $124 and pork collar $167. The server explained to us politely that brownie was made in house and the chef did not use flour to make it so it's supposedly more difficult to make and thus it would cost higher. To be honest, we were no expert in brownie but that was overpriced no matter how you look at it especially when you compare it with the pricing of appetizers and main dishes in the same menu. Don't get me wrong, I was fully aware of its price before we ordered it but we were just expecting a bigger piece. As far as the taste is concerned, it was served nice and warm and went very well with the ice-cream.
Service was good. The server was very polite and attentive. But given the weird pricing and small portion, I would not be going back.
