The breads and tasting plates prior were to die for. we had the PATÉ Duck & Chicken liver paté, house made brioche, pickles, cabernet sauvignon jelly, maraschino cherry Next level, the bread that complimented it was amazing .... BISTECCA (V) In house dry aged steak, rosti, rocket, reggiano, Cabernet Sauvignon jus served medium rare I love a good steak, and the chef absolutely blitzed this to perfection.... We also had the Spatchcock Chicken must have been a lunch special. I had a couple of Mezcalitas....... wow, spiced to perfection.
