| - I've heard way too much about this restaurant and had already developed a strange hyped up version of what it would be in my head prior to our supper last night. My anticipation caused me to revert back to the teenage girl I once was and play dress up.
Parking for this location is great for the evenings, as there is street parking and also the safety of the underground parkade in the adjacent mall.
We had reserved ahead of time, so there was no wait time for our table. The start of service for us was a but unorganized as we weren't sure who our server was and were asked for our drink orders multiple times. Plus the table was not set prior to us being sat, therefore the bussers had to clumsily attempt to set it after we had ordered drinks. The cocktails we ordered (The Lady Germain & The Forbidden Fruit) were on point, although price point was a bit high (which we had expected before hand) and the wait time on them felt like forever. To my horror after reading other reviews... I was not offered a water type!
The menu was easy to navigate but no specials or explanations were offered by our server (i.e. soup of the day). As it was V-Day, we got some Fresh Oysters ;) which were scrumptious and have me salivating at the mere recall of them. The server upsaled us on "Cheese Toast for two", which we were glad to have as we were... starving by the time it arrived.
I ordered the 8 oz Filet Mignon with Baked Potato. The potato is presented undressed and toppings are added at table side. I asked for all the toppings, and felt quite overwhelmed by the amount of sour cream the server decided to plop on it in one go (still delicious though btw). But I must say, the filet mignon was by far the best I've ever had, never have I had one so tender yet juicy all at the same time! The seasoning was perfect :D The boyfriend was very satisfied with his Bone-In Rib Steak with Rice Pilaf as well.
Service as I've mentioned was a bit off last night. No one had told me about the quiet server that we would get that would spill our drink and frown at the grains of rice the boyfriend got on table and he couldn't quite scrap off, or the stares he gave our spots of tabasco on the table cloth that occurred from my lack of coordination. With EVERYTHING in mind, it was still a great night out :D Will be back for sure as I would love to experience the "Hy's Tableside Service".
