Provided by YP.comI ordered from the tapas menu so I could try a little of everything. I had the arugula salad, the lamb cigars, and the flat bread with lamb sausage. The arugula salad was very crisp, clean and tasted great. The lamb cigar is seasoned ground lamb that has been rolled into filo dough and has a sweat marmalade dipping sauce. It has a great balance of salty and sweat. The Flat bread with lamb sausage was a rectangular pizza. It was tasty but the fresh greens on top were over salted for my liking but most people in this region prefer too much salt on their foods. Over all the food presentation was very nice and it all tasted very good. My only real complaint was the drinking water they serve tasted like the water out of the tap. Which is very gross! I don't need bottled water served to me but please at least have it filtered before placing it into the very fancy vessels from which it is served from. I will be returning in the future to enjoy their menu as it changes with the seasons.
Hi! I'm so sorry you disliked our water. We actually have our own eco-friendly water filter/tank that we use for the entire facility - it contains no chemicals, no salt and does not use magnets. Our restaurant closed in April of 2012 but we are open for our farmers market every Saturday morning from 10 am - 1pm and we are no focusing on catering and special events. Keep us in mind for any future events you may have! We hope to see you soon!
