I really wanted to love this place so much - love the concept, service was great, space is intimate, and the food was good. unfortunately, the price point is way off here and is not aligned with the market. this is not to say the food was bad, just that it's way overpriced for what you get.\n\nthe cheese and charcuterie plate was woefully tiny for $18, and did not seem fresh. between my friend and i, we had the lamb bolognese and cassoulet. both were good, but not worth $24 each. also, the portions were on the smaller side. we also had the russian honey cake which was good but would've been better had it been fresh - it was still a little cold from the fridge, and you could just tell that it wasn't freshly made. for what we got, our dinner should not have cost as much as it did.\n\ni get that it's a small operation and a fairly new business, but they would be better off building a loyal customer base for reasonably priced, elevated comfort food, rather than overcharging to meet costs and discouraging some from going back. another observation makes the point - the place is cheaply furnished and the utensils are cheap. i have nothing against ikea, but eating a $24 entree with tin/aluminum utensils is incongruent. there's a time to cut costs and a time to invest, the trick here is to figure out the right formula.
