    Yes: winter guacamole, vegetable fajitas. Chicken wing confit has good flavor but the double wings are kinda inefficient

    If you're with a few people get the tasting menu. It was about 12 plates which were all unique and delicious.

    Tip for couples: 5 dishes, a drink each and dessert will cost you a lot less than the Chef's tasting menu and it will be enough food.

    This is something special. Try the cactus appetizer and you will no longer think of a cactus as such a prick.

    They're trying hard to make everything unique but it's not there yet. It needs to be refined. You can't just pour sweet chilli sauce over brussel sprouts. And their wine wasn't good.
