Great restaurant and service. They will ask if you are celebrating anything in particular and will accommodate accordingly. I went for an anniversary and was seated at a private enclave.
Food: Great and complicated. Lots of components but I appreciate how there is almost always an acidic component and texture component. Expect surprise Asian flavours. I had the 5 course tasting menu and they are chef choice and different dishes for each patron. Great seasonal and local ingredient use.
Amuse bouche: Had a heirloom tomato and shitake mushroom. Hints of sesame oil. Again nice acidic undertones.
App: Dungeness crab, green beans, brulee avocado. Nice balance of acidity and crunch. The other side, tuna and fennel salad again balanced with great anise components in the fish and salad. Lightly seasoned fish, the salad stole the show.
Fois gras course. CHOOSE IT. You can't trust anyone who doesn't like fois gras. Mine was with squab. The fois jus was just great. Perfectly seared served with roasted root vegetables. The other side had lima beans and different poultry.
Mains: Lamb with surprising wasabi crust. Amazing STRONG lamb flavour. Too often people try to dairy out the gameyness of lamb which is a shame. Ontario corn in the side was great. The other side had one of the best ribeyes that I've ever had. Topped with a cherry based jus but I find that orange peel was dominating. This was the only dish that I thought wasn't as well balanced as it was rich on rich with a side of artichokes with pesto and a cheesey bread.
Cheese course and then dessert. I had a sponge cake with caramel and an ice cream that tasted like gin for some reason. Overall pleasant.
Overall great experience. Love the use of cherries and corn appropriate for Ontario and season.
