| - Ahhhhh!!! You know those days that fill up so quickly with "stuff" that you don't even have time to even think of eating? Yeah, well, the day we went to Jane, I forgot to eat lunch. Oops. And our dinner reservation was at 9pm. Double oops.
(But hello, skinny jeans...)
And not taking a cab to Jane at -30 degrees Celsius? How many mistakes can you make in one day!? Snowbanks and heels in the crazy cold. Yeah, I didn't take out my camera for that. Needless to say, when we finally got to the restaurant, we needed our food STAT, we needed it to fill us up, and we definitely needed it to bring us to a warm, happy place.
A total fluke, but Jane was the perfect place for this kind of meal. To begin, my friends had a Caesar salad ($9), which was quite sizeable and quite good. And not swimming in dressing? Amazing! Our luck was changing. We even found little fried potatoes in there. Yum.
They also ordered the crabcakes ($13). I'm not the biggest fan of crabcakes - I rather have just the crab and skip the cake - but they were happy, and enjoyed the cakes' fun spicy kick.
I had the beet salad with melted goat cheese ($11) - big and delicious! Rather than creamy goat cheese spread on the side of the bowl, this salad came with a round cross-section of a goat cheese log. With that were roasted pumpking seeds and arugula. Seriously delicious.
Next, we chose to split the Bianca pizza ($17), made with porcinis, béchamel, buffalo mozzarella, parmesan, pesto and truffle oil. I had heard about Jane's pizza crusts and thought to myself, how good can a pizza really crust be? Answer - better than I ever imagined. Instead of the "thin whole wheat crust" we're used to ordering to feel less guilty about indulging in this Italian main, our pizza had a bubbly, chewy, doughy and downright decadent pizza crust. Maybe I could compare it to slightly thicker Naan bread? In any case, the entire pizza was rich and luscious.
Finally, we split the brownie ($7) and the crème brulée ($7) for dessert. Nothing super out of the ordinary, but damn good too.
Jane is small, wood-sy and welcoming. The atmosphere is hip but warm, and the food is all about comfort and taste. It's casual dining at its best.
Food 8.5/10, Atmosphere (greatforcatchingupwithfriends) 8/10, Pretty people (althoughseeminglyshort) 8/10, Music (TheXX,Adele,etc) 8.5/10, Service 8/10.
