Farmer's Apprentice

I don't know if you know this but David Gunawan kills it. As in slays it real hard. And I know that I am pretty late on the Farmer's Apprentice train but there is no doubt in my mind that I will be back and that I will be checking out Royal Dinette asap. We went heavy on the seafood but the veggies blew it out of the park for me. 

I don't have time to properly blog anymore so this will just be a brief synopsis.

• Date Night. 
• Babysitter.
• Walk across Granville bridge. 
• Somehow get slightly lost.
• No, "directionally confused".
• (It's in a unexpected and unpretentious spot).
• Bottle of wine.
• Close yer eyes and point to anything on the menu and order it, it will be good.
• From that first bite I was blown away, and it was a friggen cucumber. 
• From that first bite of farm fresh cuke with salty foam I knew I'd be coming back. 
• (Or it was a sign of things to come - HEYO).
• I am pretty sure I was moderately embarrassing to be in public with: taking photos of every dish, raving about every single morsel of sablefish - warm octopus salad - or gnocchi that went in my mouth, and oooing over the little herb garden. 
• #tipsy. 
• No but seriously, the gnocchi was somehow crispy and light and buttery smooth all at the same time. 
• #cabridehome.
