It is Friday night and usually Dad, my brother and I have this dinner together thingie that has been going on for the past how many years already. We decided to go to Il Terrazo once again to try some of the newly opened restaurants there. At first, we decided to try the come back of Aresi located on the 2nd floor but Dad gets a little annoyed and dismayed for I don't know what reason and he suggested that we try the small but very cozy restaurant on the ground floor named Cesca Wine Bar. 
The place is quite compact and cozy. It is basically a wine bar as the name implies and serves gourmet kind of dishes such as sea bass, steak, lamb, salad, soup and etc. We end up ordering the King Size rib-eye steak which is about 16oz., a sea bass and a pasta. The steak is fragrant and it is grilled into perfection. The sea bass is fresh and very juicy. The sauce of the sea bass doesn't over power the flavour of the sea bass itself which is a very good thing. The pasta that Dad ordered on the other hand is a spicy shrimp pasta. I was hesitant to try it since it is spicy, I really hate spicy food, it is my enemy. But the waiter said that it is just mild and very tolerable. Yes indeed, it is mild and very tolerable considering I am very sensitive to spicy food. But I am not very happy with the taste and the noodles is not that al dente anymore. Totality, the Cesca can give you a different dining experience. The food is great, the place is cozy, the waiters and servers are well-trained. You should try this one as a new alternative.
Cesca is located on the ground floor level of Il Terrazo on this side of Omakase.
