| - I am still very pleased with the lunch here yesterday.
Positives:
- crazy cheap for the good quality, artsy presentation and amazing tastes. $31 for a mocktail, salad appy, protein main, dessert and coffee- cheap!
- loved that our server was able to make recommendations that ended up as great selections
- delicious mocktail, the pomegranate lemonade was not too sweet yet flavourful
- table tossed Cesar salad had nice Parmesan cheese melt, dressing had a lovely taste- more complex that a regular Cesar salad
- tried a taste of muligitawny soup and wow, how yummy!
- southern fried chicken, what a delight. I rarely eat chicken when out, I tire easily of chicken and normally find it a boring meat to eat. This chicken though, was breaded and seasoned so I actually enjoyed chicken again for the duration of eating that dish. Juicy meat; lightly breaded and seasoned to make it very tasty- no regrets ordering this meal. Beans, salsa and greens were also delicious sides in this meal
- creme caramel my fav dessert of the 3 shared with my mom friends
Meh's
- service wasn't stellar, slow and awkward at times
- don't expect to have time to sit and chat with lunchmates, students were cleaning around us when we finally decided to get up and leave
- Cesar salad was as expected- not as amazing as it should be, compared to other dishes there, that totally were amazing
- chocolate mousse was decent, rich yet light - improved with passion fruit sauce but wouldn't order again
- cheesecake I am on the fence about- my preference is a more dense cheesecake and this one was lighter, not baked style- still yummy
- coffee was average, but also should have been better, to the high level of the dishes presented here.
Would definitely come back again, and even try for the highly popular "Thursday buffet lunch"-great deal for amazing food, and I love being able to support these students while they learn and grow in their craft.
Update - my friends and I finally got in to a
Lunch buffet. I wasn't super in to all the options here (jellied meat was pretty, I did try some of it, but I won't waste calories these in future events) but what I did try- was amazing. Off the buffet, my favs were the fish cakes and all the desserts. Actually the beet salad was really good as well. I need to go to another buffet to see what else these budding chefs will offer. And omg, the quality of the dishes, of everything - for $30 per person?? I can't think of a better deal out there, it almost felt like robbery. Thursday's also have the marketplace to purchase goods created by students, to go- I picked up bakery treats and some steaks and was not disappointed esp with such great pricing.
