Have heard about this restaurant a while back, while they were still in Chesterland but this was my…read morefirst opportunity to visit it.
My first question to the restaurant - why ask for a reason for a visit during the reservation the process? If that question is there, there has to be a reason for it. Because even though we responded that its our anniversary, there seems to be no reason celebratory message from the restaurant.
Question 2 - why ask for the payment method during the booking. I would understand if its a large party, like over 6, but for a couple? Plans do change for people and being charged because your plans change is a bit much.
But getting back to the experience and the food. First, it was confusing of how to get into the restaurant and I know we were not the only one's. You have to come up to the patio, open the patio gate from the other side and then walk through the patio to the door of the restaurant. It seems that every individual that were coming in were having the same confusion/issues that we did
Restaurant is located inside the airport and has a nice view of the airport museum. But the dining room itself is very small and once its filled, it is VERY loud so we requested to seat outside. They have a nice patio (we got lucky with being nice evening but I can see how if its any warmer/hotter, this would become an issue as there absolutely no shade on the patio). Note: patio is right next to the main road and car noise can become a litte nuissance during the meal.
As far as the meal - you have to give credit where credit is due, chef's know the flavors. We tried 2 appetizers - Lost in Palermo and Go The Distance. They both seem to have a very similar sauces but different distinct flavors and both were very good. For dinner we decided to go for Cod. Our server asked if we would like the Cod to be split, we said yes but when the Cod arrived it was not. But the flavor was definately there and I loved the orzo with corn crema that it was accompanying it. For the dessert we went with "In Good Company" with Loose Leaf tea, both were standouts!
I would say that this is more of a higher end restaurant. Would I recommend trying it once? Yes! Would I see myself going there again? Probably not. But definately worth trying
