I came here with my family in the hopes of trying something relatively new in a neighbourhood that we have lived in for a long while.
Walking in, I didn't really know what to expect but the decor was very beautiful. It set a really classy room and the paintings bring that out.
Our waiter brought out our bread and water and asked what we wanted to order. As an appetizer, I got the pan seared scallops. This was the best meal of all. The salad had a good mix of flavours and the scallops were cooked perfectly. It left me wanting more since it was easy on the stomach. It wet my appetite for sure.
However, that was the best of the dinner. The wait for our food was atrocious. Our entrees took so long and I can't help to think that we were just forgotten orders.
Our waiter offered us another plate of bread but we gobbled that instantly. We didn't want to fill up on bread. We wanted more than that though.
Another waitress took it upon herself to apologize for our wait. How come our waiter didn't give us that kind of attention?
I ordered the lobster and shrimp tagliatelle but once the meal came, I was rather disappointed. I waited for so long that I was hungry all over again but meal was lacklustre. There was barely any shrimp. The food left me feeling the opposite of what I felt for the appetizer. The lobster wasn't really cooked properly. It was hot in some places while chewy and cold in others. The sauce was watery though. The pasta was splashing about while I moved my fork to eat it.
That same waitress helped out once more and offered us free dessert because we had to wait so long for our food. We were at least glad about that when we went to get our bill but still had an underlying feeling that we were being ignored by our original waiter as he helped other tables.
Overall, I don't like how we ended up staying at a restaurant for four hours just to get our full meal and service just to have the food be unprepared. Our time at this restaurant should have been at least two hours and yet we came before the dinner rush and left way after it.
The place was also expensive too. It took really long to even grab our bill to pay. Normally, I wouldn't mind costs if it is an expensive restaurant but I do expect it to be worth the buck.
Needless to say, we left with a sour note about this place so I cannot recommend coming here unless you want to be really hungry and just wait around for the most part.
