Was at the Optimist tonight for the first time based on a friend's recommendation. I ordered the Duck Fat Poached Swordfish which was just warm. Prefer my food to be hot. Could barely taste the vingarette on the Endive Salad so definitely had to request more. Bread was good. Also ordered the chocolate dessert with ice cream. The portions are too small considering the prices.

My dinner guest ordered the octopus which was very tasty and a good temperature.

Liked the ambiance but was truly a disappointing dining experience in regards to the food. Probably won't return or recommend.
