| - I'm so sad because I wanted to like this place! I really did!
(Location:)
This new restaurant is located right inside the new Marriott hotel they built by downtown Markham. At first glance, it is a high-end place, with fancy drinks, and cool decor. It also boasts a fusion menu (which is definitely one of my favourite cuisines). So, of course, I was excited to try!
(Service:)
Although the service was fine, I think we waited around 45 minutes from the time we ordered to the time we got our food delivered. There was nobody else in this restaurant, so I actually don't understand what took them so long. I also think that the server wasn't dressed to promote the same vibe that the entire restaurant was trying to emanate.
(Food:)
I got the LOBSTER GRILLED CHEESE, which came with a side of fries that I upgraded to DUCK POUTINE. The grilled cheese wasn't too bad, but left me feeling super gross and heavy afterwards (I guess I can't blame them for that, but I just didn't feel that great after eating it).
The DUCK POUTINE was very simple, the cheese and gravy was nothing to write home about, and the added duck didn't enhance any flavours.
(Price:)
LOBSTER GRILLED CHEESE: $18
DUCK POUTINE UPGRADE: $4
(Overall:)
Honestly, I wasn't really happy with this place at all. I paid probably $30 after tax and tip and left feeling like I spent too much time there as well as feeling quite bloated. I just had higher expectations because of the high rating (although based on 2 reviews) as well as the atmosphere.
