Had the roast chicken and squash and my guest had the fish on toast. Both were very good. Coffee was also fresh and delicious. Took longer than expected to get seated.
The food is really nice and slick, and the ambience is upmarket. The service is decent while the staff is friendly and knowledgable. A good place to go to. I prefer the grill over here as compared to the Italian food.
This visit to Oliver & Bonachini marks the induction to 2017 Winterlicious! 🤗 The restaurant was filled upon my arrival! Super busy! The restaurant had a happy ambience. Very festive and playful! May be because it was Chinese New Year and I was feeling joyful? Perhaps!😄
The Winterlicious meal at Oliver & Bonachini reminded me if a picnic lunch! Beginning with the appetizers and ending with the desserts, our sections were as follow: seafood chowder, warm pancentta & fontina gougeres. Mains: poached true north, and classic reuben. Dessert: carmelized custard tart and banana tarte tatin. What a colorful picnic palette I must say! 🎨😄
I really enjoyed the seafood chowder! There was an intense seafood aroma the second the bowl of soup landed on the table. I loved the creamy texture and the spoonfuls of seafood. The warm pancentta & fontina gougeres was a bit disappointing. It really didn't taste like anything? 😯 It was merely a small ball of pastry with the absence of any flavor?🤔 The poached true north was quite good. The soft boiled egg was perfect with the salmon! The reuben was satisfying. The meat was piled sky high with hints of sauerkrant. I also quite enjoyed the colorful fried chips ans slaw that accompanied the sandwich. Between the two desserts I easily preferred the banana tarte tatin!😋 I love bananas! The warm banana puree and flakey tart was sinful with the dollop of cream on top! The carmelized custard tart was okay. But to be honest I'm not very huge fan of custard!😄
I really enjoyed my picnic afternoon at Oliver & Bonachini! Our hostess was lovey, attentive and warm despite of how busy the restaurant was. I will now continue on with my journey! Exploring other delicacies found in Winterlicious 2017! 🤗🍛🍽🍳🍮
