  • *2 stars for the service, 3.5 stars for food I'm someone who is usually oblivious to the behaviours of other people, but I felt like my boyfriend and I were being low-key discriminated against by our waiter tonight (we're Asian, young looking). I noticed that the tables next to us (same waiter) received much friendlier and comprehensive service than us; the waiter would periodically ask them how their meal was, and explain to them their dish. We didn't get that. The waiter would smile and make small talk with the other tables. Not with us. This waiter didn't even look in our direction while setting down a drink my boyfriend ordered (instead, he looked at the table next to us while he placed the drink down). In fact, I don't even think our waiter looked us in the eye even once during the course of our meal. For the record, this waiter (can't remember his name) has blonde hair, glasses, and wore slim jeans with Blundstone boots. Anyways... I'm a bit of a large eater (read; bottomless pit), so sharing 6 dishes (4 mains, 2 desserts) and 2 snacks (the baked oysters) with my boyfriend left me feeling quite famished. However, I knew this going in so I can't exactly complain about the value vs. portion sizes. So, just a warning to my fellow bottomless pits, either pre-eat or be prepared to spend a pretty penny to feel satisfied. As Boralia is a much hyped restaurant in Toronto, my expectations were high. However, I left feeling a bit divided. We really loved the pine smoked mussels (presentation is amazing, the broth was delicious) and the pigeon pot pie with squab (squab was juicy and tender; the pie crust was buttery and flakey). The baked oysters, while tasty, didn't taste extraordinary to me and weren't worth $3 each. The beurre blanc on the grilled whelk was delicious, and the burdock/carrot salad underneath was great, but the whelk itself was just alright; it's good to try once. The venison tartare was uninspiring, and not particularly special. In the end, it's pretty unlikely that I'll be back - there seems no sense in me returning to a restaurant where I won't leave full, and the waiter won't even look me in the eye.
