It was full of flavor and wagyu was tender. Great item. Tonnato was also good. Very solid item. I did not have stacciatella. Tapenade was sour side, with strong olive and roasted pepper flavors stand out. Vongole(savory clams, fermented Taragu mares chilli white wine and parsley, squid ink linguine) Highlight! Clam and Vongole sauce were very delicious! Squid ink linguine was also good. It was good to have sauce with bread. Bistecca(Babette steak, Amaro jus, garlic scapes, frisee and hazelnuts) This item was also very delicious. Medium rare steak was tender(a bit chewy) the garlic scapes, hazelnut and frisée combination was excellent. i really enjoyed having together with meat. Overall, I really liked this restaurant. I would like to visit late night next time.

I was surprised that their first tip option started at 10% not 18% or 20%! I hate it when the preset tip amount is at 18% forcing me to pay a higher tip % it's undeserved.

They have 8 kinds of pintxos, cheese, charcuterie, and some side dishes. So for a light dinner or pre dinner, this is a good place. It's casual so don't expect fancy service. Staff is nice and welcoming. They had live music (Spanish guitar soloist) which was a nice touch. Rating is more like 3.5, food and value is ok, but venue and ambiance is one of a kind.

Sure Mediterranean diet is considered to be a "healthy" diet etc. However the ingredients if not sourced from organic farms etc,, it would render any "healthy" attributes meaningless. FYI, peppers and tomatoes are well documented to contain high amounts of pesticides. If they are not duly removed, they would do more harm than good. Having said that, some are more sensitive to inflammation than others I am more than happy to re-review when your restaurant can stake the organic ingredients or non-pesticide claim.

I came across a door with a question mark on it and figured it was worth a shot. I was seated at the bar, which was so fun because I could watch the chefs at work. So many fun garnishes! Their wine list is so fun. Pet nat, orange wine, all the things. My waitress, who was incredible, suggested the vinho verde and SHE WAS RIGHT! So good, and not something you can get just anywhere. I got the olives, which are stuffed with boursin and drizzled with hot honey. I have not stopped thinking about them since. Oh my god. This place is so vibey and feels like an intriguing secret.

Is it French? The food is built around Pacific Northwest ingredients and whatever culinary influences fit. However, the menu definitely has a French influence. Chef/owner Kovic Prévost is from Montreal and trained on classic French restaurant cooking I don't know if it's French or not is almost exactly the reaction the name is designed to provoke. The food overall was very good although we thought a couple of dishes were a bit too rich for our taste. My favorite dish was definitely the. Hamachi Tiradito, Nikkei Leche De Tigre - Smoked Trout Roe. The richness of the Hamachi paired very well with the bright Leche de Tigre sauce. We finished the meal with Bison Back Ribs, Patty Pan & Anchovy - Whipped Bone Marrow. We were hoping it would be a star of the night although the flavors were good we thought the ribs could've used a little bit longer cooking to wear. It was fall off the bone tender. Happy eating!!

We got bread, with Iberico Jamón, croquettes - the spinach was my favorite! Then came the best dish of the night - the patatas bravas. I have had this dish at a few other spots in the city but these are THE BEST. So savoury and addictive, the whole table was obsessed. Then we all shared the seafood paella - absolutely delish, we got the small and it was enough for 5 of us. So much seafood in it too which is great for the price - you really get the value here. We finished the meal with the blue cheese basque cheesecake - this was so light, so creamy and exactly the basque cheesecake I was looking for! For the folks who didn't love blue cheese they devoured this because it's subtle. The service was super great too throughout - so attentive and split our bill all 5 ways. Will be back!

Portions vary depending on the item, but there are many unique foods to order. - PASTEL DE GALLINETA, this rockfish terrine had a frittata-like texture. the chilli threads were a bit of a hassle and didn't seem to add much, but it was a fun bite to share. 3.8/5 - TORRE DEL ARRANTZALES. an absolute flavour bomb, will be recreating this. the tuna was a bit tough and rough since it had been preserved, but the overall experience of mixing it up to eat was enjoyable! for the level of sauciness this dish delivers I think it would be best served with a vessel to dip. 4.2/5 - CARRILLERAS DE RES. had really high hopes but unfortunately was not a fan of this beef cheek dish. for a slow cooked cut, it wasn't tender; some parts appeared either very lean or dried out. jus wasn't very flavourful nor was there much at all. sweet potato puree had an herbal aftertaste that neither of us liked. the concept was captivating but the execution was off for us. - PATATAS BRAVAS. each bite was its own experience, some bites light, some crispy, and others were soft yet rich in textude. generous portions, we loved this dish while dining and though it was even tastier having as leftovers the next day. 5/5 don't think I've had potatoes this good. - VALENCIANA PAELLA. perfectly al dente rice that delivered addictive bites. we felt this came off a bit too strong on the rosemary, but we were feeling 90% stuffed by the time we had it. interestingly, we loved the flavours of the paella after reheating it the day after, no longer bothered by the herbaceousness. it all melded together super well. 4.6/5
