Lisa Marie is situated on lively Queen St. West. The first thing you should know is that for restaurants in this area to thrive, considering the multitude of restos you have the power to bring your business to, they must either 1. be the best in their food category, or 2. have an eccentric menu and the right atmosphere in order to attract food mavens far and wide. Lisa Marie falls into the second category. You look at their menu everything makes you salivate. You're conflicted between 2-3 apps or 1 entree. You sure as heck will be picking from your partner or friends' plates.
I ordered the Thai green curry mac and cheese, the Jamaican oxtail beef patty served in a skillet, and pad thai fries. All classics with somewhat of a twist. The mac and cheese impressed me with great distinct green curry flavour. Had me wishing I ate slower to savour it longer. Would reorder.
The patty was simple but so gourmet. The filling was delicious. But the serving was not enough for even one person.
The pad thai fries left the least impression on me but is good for sharing.
Only comment I have is on the temperature. It was obvious the fries and mac and cheese were standing too long. The restaurant was not busy and all 3 dishes were expedited alone, so I'd expect they left the kitchen ASAP but this appears to not be the case.
Good place to bring friends but was not mind blown by the food. Would visit other places on my list before revisiting.
