Great Food and Service - not too fancy not too casual
Food and service was excellent. The atmosphere is fun - openly - probably makes it 4 stars.....but the food makes up
I came here on a Monday evening for dinner with friends and ordered from the Summerlicious menu. Despite the simple exterior, the inside of the restaurant is warm and charming. (A perfect date night setting for those who need ideas!). I was quickly seated upon entering and they made sure I was tended-to while I waited for the rest of my friends to arrive.
For the appetizer, I got the Romaine Hearts with Caesar Dressing and Garlic Crostini. It was exactly as described in the menu and didn't really stand out positively or negatively.
Next up, the main dish, was their Apple Wood Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Glaze. The tenderloin was tender and juicy, with a smokey flavour that wasn't overpowering. It was especially delicious when dipped in the Bourbon BBQ Sauce Glaze used to garnish the plate. On the side, the grilled sweet potato medallions and tang of the cucumber salad added extra texture and taste which helped to bring out the flavours of the tenderloin even more.
Now, onto dessert. I got the Vanilla Crème Brulee and it was the highlight of my meal. Beneath a thin layer of crispy, carmelized sugar, there's a creamy vanilla pudding. The mix of crunch and creaminess in each spoonful was absolutely satisfying.
Overall, great service and an outstanding meal for the price point! I would eat here again.
Was invited to dine here by friends visiting from the US who have been here a few times. Looking it up in advance to check out the menu I saw that they were featured on TV. That immediately triggers a hype alert for me.
The restaurant is in the middle of the city and finding parking was a nightmare. We ended up parking 3 blocks away and it took us 20 minutes to find that spot. Gotta love Toronto.
The restaurant is small but we didn't feel cramped at all. The server was super nice and helpful with his enthusiastic recitation of the specials. DW went with the salmon which was tender, flaky, moist, and quite delicious. I, surprisingly, went with the NY steak which was prepared perfectly and sat amidst a tangy and tasty sauce. Unique, and pretty darn good!
We started with the mussels which were the most flavorful we've had in years!
