really I’m saying that not because you are a big eater but looking at that menu not sure how I’d order to fill up / round out an order. Some interesting dishes but it seems like an odd menu as a whole. Maybe it just because it’s meant to promote drinking.

cod was my favorite. peppers and fish. lotta fatty char. this cool iceberg tang with the natto beans and soy sauce, fine needle direct poke. squid and the bok choy arrived one after the other. sitting at the bar i got to watch them on the grill. the tonnato played well with the celery & scallion salsa. cream to zest back and forth. and then to more cream with the mascarpone.

vegetable kakiage would have gone great with the cod, wish i ordered that. coulda done a couple more dishes but still that was the perfect way to leave rvr. menu already different compared to up above. there’s a bunch of ways to go building a dinner.
