I’m so excited to have a more upscale restaurant in West Chicago. We started with the prawns and the burrata. Our main courses were Scottish Lamb, Bouillabaisse, and Branzino. For dessert we had the Kyiv Cake and Honey Cake. Everything was delicious, and the presentation was simply elegant. You must save room for the Kyiv cake! The drinks were tasty, as well.
I was pretty disappointed with the way the burrata was served. It was so good, but it was served atop a long crostini; the crostini was not cut to share. I had to deconstruct the dish, as our knives could not cut through the bread. I had to tear it apart with my hands and reconstruct the dish to serve it. I was also not too impressed with the service. The server was attentive enough; however, he was persistent about getting us to place each course of our orders quickly. There were plenty of open tables, so it certainly wasn’t for the need of quickly turning the table. We decided to cave and finish placing our orders for all of the courses. Being a nicer restaurant, we opted to trust that the server would know how to time our courses. He did not. He also failed to clear our plates before new dishes arrived, literally making us pick up and hold our dirty plates so he could set down the next course.
All in all, we will return. I have chosen to chalk up these missteps as new restaurant growing pains that will be ironed out soon enough. It would be so great for a restaurant with this beautiful menu to survive in our little town.
