This used to be our favorite family go-to place for.sushi. And I'm sure that sushi is still great. But, this review is about more earthly meat. And it's a lengthy review.
My younger and I just finished a fillet steak with pepper sauce and a burger, respectively.
The fillet steak was of a reasonable mid-way portion (270g/9.5oz). I asked for 'medium', but got it just a bit too red. Without hesitation, the manager took it back and returned it (to my liking) perfect a mere minute later. Great (aged) softness matched with a strong pepper sauce. (I like it a bit boozy).
But, while steak was a solid 4.5*, this is all about the burger! Or, burgers! You see, the standard portion gets you two regular size burgers, chips and three sauces.

Read moreAfter not making it to the upstairs neighbor 'Etage' (Asian food) because of a birthday party, we ended up at this cocktail bar like establishment. The menu is an eclectic combination of local cuisine (with a modern twist), stake house (sous-vide included, which is not my thing), Italian, with a hint of Asian. Service is friendly. I did feel a bit sorry for a guy trying to promote a new cigarette brand. The food tastes fine, no big surprises. But the pastry chef is a wizard! Bel Ami tartelette is fantastic. The guests are wannabe posh crowd (butch cars and all). Smoking is allowed and it is suffocating. It beats me why the food (and health) admirers can not win the war like in the rest of the world. The stinking smoke just...
