face. We just wanted to taste the FACE! We didn't' need all these fried onions. The egg and the face would have been enough to really see how good the meat was. The dish was fine but it was just face meat put into two patties with an over easy egg. To be innovative we were hoping to actually get a part of a pig face. I wanted to see ears or a nose! LOL. All in all we'd come back for a trip to the bar for a drink and a couple plates but we're not rushing to come back. One of the best meals I've ever eaten! I didn't have high expectations because 1) I don't eat pork or red meat and 2) the menu looks frickin weird! Yet, somehow this fantastic chef makes the strangest looking combinations of food taste fantastic. Arrived for our 8pm Monday reservation and waited about 15 minutes at the bar. Fine considering it was packed! We had a group of 4 which seemed to be a great number to try many different dishes. I'd read in other reviews that the pig face was a big hit. My dinig companions we
re a bit taken back by it but thought it was fantastic. Some of my FAVORITE dishes were: the sauteed green beans, the chickpeas fritters, and the grilled baby octopus. We were there a few weeks back and I can still remember how good the green beans and octopus were! ORDER THESE! Loved the bread with some fancy flavored butter--so creative and a good start to the meal. The only dish we didn't like was a crab dish which would probably be delicious anywhere else but seemed too fried and bland compared to the rest of the flavor-packed menu. There were lots of dishes and drinks ordered and the meal seemed to be about $60 per person with tax and tip. Not too bad for one of the best meals of my life. Too bad I can't get reservations again for weeks! Although the people were very friendly, the service was very professional and the environment was very modern and clean, the food was mediocre at best. The "pig face" which was the most recommended dish on the menu was like eating pure pig fat
mixed with a half raw egg. In fact all of the meats on the menu were mostly fat and grease, not at all what I expected, considering the amount of time I had to wait for a reservation, the amount of time we had to wait to get served and the price. The breads were ok and the best thing on the menu was the cauliflower. The wine list was also very nice, but the mixed drinks were disappointing as well. I don't know why so many people say this was great food. Maybe eating greased up pig and goat fat is an acquired taste or maybe I just
