Had a great meal at this place last Tuesday. Walked in around 9:30 and were seated immediately in the mostly empty back room, which was pleasantly quieter than the front. I was craving meat and, boy, was this the right choice.
Steak tartare with radish, harissa, lahneh, and beef fat cracker ($20), maybe the best I’ve had, definitely in the top three.
Smoked foie gras terrine ($25), never heard of such a thing but it’s a great idea. Excellent brioche toast.
Pan fried veal sweetbreads on toast with pickled shallot plus sauce gribiche containing minced veal tongue ($17), excellent.
My companion’s halibut poached in olive oil with Parisian gnocchi, mussels, carrot, and dill ($44), perfectly cooked, great dish.
Drank some excellent BC wines by the glass: Sea Star Salish Sea Ortega and Siegerrebe blend ($11), Unsworth rosé of Pinot Noir ($26), and a Nichol Okanagan Cabernet Franc ($24), which was particularly nice.
