When I first heard of this place I was hoping to find gooey marshmallowey graham cracker sandwiches oozing with melted chocolate, sadly there aren’t any s'mores on the menu, but what I found instead was simple and deliciously prepared food.

It was a rainy night and yet we braved the notorious traffic to check out a new restaurant. By the time we arrived, the restaurant was buzzing with a very ‘happy’ happy hour crowd. They had obviously been making full use of the buy 3 free 1 on all beers promotion! Once I got there I found out that the restaurant name doesn't actually refer to the popular American campfire treat but rather from where the name stems from. S'Mores means to want some more! This camp treat was so good that kids couldn’t help but want more. After eating here I too can’t help but to want more.

As I glanced through the menu I could see that it was filled primarily with Italian specialties and a few Japanese and local items. Since it was a rainy night I wanted something soupy to start off with and was recommended the miso udon. We also ordered a Mezzaluna pizza to share as another starter. The miso udon was light and tasty packed with tofu and the noodles had a good chewiness. The pizza was a treat; all crisp and topped with a homemade tomato salsa, artichoke hearts, black olives, mozzarella, and an egg in the middle. The crust had the perfect wood oven char that I absolutely love.

For mains we all shared an assortment of the main dishes, S’mores Chicken, Dreamy Lamb, Spaghetti Carbonara, and the Donburi. The S’mores Chicken is one of the popular dishes here and as soon as I take a bite I can see why. This is a tender piece of grilled chicken thigh stuffed with mushrooms. The mushrooms keep the chicken moist as it cooks resulting in a juicy piece of meat. Too many places dry out their chicken till it feels like you’re chewing on pieces of leather so it’s great to see that here they do it just right.

"Perfect wood oven char"

The Dreamy Lamb is a generous portion of grilled lamb marinated in a honey mustard mixture served with mustard, pesto and a special balsamic onion dip. The lamb is tender and doesn’t have a strong gamey taste. With the mustard it has a sourish zing that cuts through the rich meat. The pesto is subtle but still gives it a punch of seasoning and the balsamic onion dip enhances the flavour with a sweet sour combination.

I was thrilled to catch a whiff of the spaghetti carbonara as it was set down on our table. There was the unmistakable aroma of white truffle oil and on top of the creamy pasta there was a generous portion of Portobello mushrooms. They looked like thick juicy pieces of meat, perfect for a vegetarian to indulge in.

The highlight of my night however was the simple Donburi. A bowl packed with Japanese rice and topped with stir fried marinated beef and grated carrots. It is known as the typical Japanese meal somewhat like our local cheap mixed rice dishes, but sometimes the best dishes are usually the most simple. The meat was melt in the mouth tender and the sweetish flavour went well with the smooth rice.

We didn’t have any dessert because frankly we couldn’t have had another bite. All in all this restaurant left me wanting to come back for more.
