(repost because i forgot to talk about the yuca fries!)

hey yall! sorry for the blurry photos, camera is buggy. was here with 2 other people! I got the pesto gnocchi with fennel sausage, and the two of them got the seared salmon and squid ink + lobster pasta.

i am told that this counts as fine dining even if it doesn't have a michelin star! This is my second time at a fine dining restaurant (1st was the Modern @ MoMA, which i also posted about!), so forgive me if maybe i don't criticize it well enough, i feel lucky to even be in the restaurant!

The gnocchi was really tasty! I love pesto so so much and it was nice and plump. I also really enjoyed the sausage, although it didn't look at sausage, i'm used to the regular diner-looking sausage. but overall it was awesome. It filled me up very quickly and i almost couldn't finish it! I'd rate it a 9/10 just cause those little flower things on top were not as tasty.

I tried some of the pasta and it was very tasty! The lobster was juicy and smooth and the noodles were filled with flavor. Squid ink pasta is definitely not my favorite kind of noodle, but it was good! A good 8/10!

I tried the salmon and it was okay, it definitely lacked a bit of flavor, maybe a tiny bit overcooked? The sauce did make it a bit better, but not as much as I wished. But i love salmon and the skin was super crunchy. The stuff around it, which I don't remember what it was, was also very tasty. a solid 7/10 for me!

The yuca fries were sooooo good. I am Colombian and from Miami so I love me a good yuca fry! Very crispy and soft inside! 10/10 so so so good.

No wines or anything, but me and another person in my party ordered this weird shirley temples (i was craving) and we got the strangest thing, but it was good! 9/10 just cause it threw me off and it took a while to like it!
