For a place called Hot House, the restaurant wasn't very hot.
We came here for Winterlicious and we were not impressed.
The Food:
Came quickly but was the main was lukewarm. It also came out pretty bland. I got the surf and turf which had one jumbo shrimp and a 10oz steak. I didn't finish the steak because it wasn't worth the calories. The vegetables tasted like it came from a frozen bag and didn't taste fresh at all.
The Service:
We had reservations and there seemed to be plenty of space in the prime areas of the restaurant. Yet we were seated in the back /old decor section of the restaurant facing the Metro. We sat right beside the emergency exit. A manager decided to let people out of the emergency exit and let a cold burst of winter air in while we were eating. Finally it took a long time for our waiter to grab the Visa and the manager noticed and rushed to get it processed.
It's a shame because I really wanted to like Hot House but it left us feeling cold in so many ways.
