| - I came here for a staff Christmas dinner, I didn't know what to expect but I definitely was not expecting such an upscale restaurant. I would NOT have shown up in what I was wearing if I had known this ahead of time! It's not snotty but because it was a weekday and most of the clientele was straight from work and what not I did feel underdressed.
The great part of going to dinner with a big group is sharing appetizers and other various yummy foods. The best thing on the menu was the phyllo pastry with goat cheese and spinach...I think, whatever it was, it was delicious. But all the appetizers were really good but the must-try is the phyllo pastry. The pizza was pretty good as well, crispy dough with a great tomato sauce and lots of toppings.
I had the pasta special and it was great. A rose sauce with seafood and vegetables. I also tried the lamb, the liver and the veal chop, all of which were amazingly tasty and surprisingly good, especially the liver, I was extremely surprised at how good it tasted. I think I would actually recommend that dish to anyone to try, I'm not even a huge liver fan but it was cooked to perfection and was tender and flavourful.
Again with the desserts, the phyllo pastry was one of my favourites, I'm not too sure of the blueberry filling as I'm not a huge fan of blueberry sauce but the pastry was perfect and flakey. The only dessert on the menu I haven't tried is the creme brulee but realistically, how hard is it to mess that up? The chocolate mousse is a little too rich for my liking and very dense, I wouldn't recommend it after a hearty meat meal. The trio of ice creams are a great way to end a meal and the pistachio flavour was amazing!
Overall the food was amazing and I didn't have any complaints, I'm not too certain as to why it's not a 5-star review as the service was good but there just was something about it that put me off, it could have been the fact that we were left standing at the door waiting for someone to greet us and seat us for a few minutes but everything about this place impresses me and I love it and will definitely go back for more!
