text: Comfortable, friendly atmosphere. Wonderful. A great place to go with friends and share. Trust me you are going to want to try as much as possible. Everything is made in house, from the head cheese and blood sausage on the delicious Charcuterie to the Panacotta and other desserts.\n\nOnce a month a group of friends and I search out a restaurant to experience. We taste as many dishes as possible. The other night we had the pleasure of trying just about every dish on the menu with the exception of the cheese plate, squash blossoms and olive snacks. There was not one dish that I, personally, did not like. Sounds pretty hokey, but it is the truth.  I do, however, have my favorites.\n\nFavorites: \nAppetizers: \nI have seen duck fat fries on tv. They are literally as good as people make them out to be. Best fries I have ever had. They make Ronald McDonald weep and the Hamburgler go straight. \nThe Dates are a must try. Sweet, savory, out and out delicious. \n\nSmall Plate:\n\nPork Belly. This is just a given. Wow.\nOrzo - wonderful and the mussels extremely tasty\nHonorable mention: Beets. I don't like beets. This dish is making me rethink that statement. Definitely try them. \n\nLarge Plates:  \n\nWhile all dishes were wonderful, this die hard carnivore has 3 must eats:\n\nDry Age Strip with bone marrow butter, duck fat fries and sweet breads. Never had sweet breads. awesome literally awesome. Eat this dish and call your cardiologist. But what a way to go. \n\nPork - absolutely wonderful, best potatoes i have eaten. \nChicken thighs. - packed full of flavor.\n\nDessert: \nYou just have to try all of them. You cannot make a poor choice, each dessert is just wonderful. We had the, strawberry rhubarb pie, chocolate cake with smoked sea salt and the panacotta. Wow. Just wow. \nWe left with one regret. No one ordered the Sicilian Sfingi. We must have been suffering from a food coma when ordering dessert. \n\nYou really need stop in and try it. Trust me. You will not be disappointed. Bring friends.
