| - I was thrilled when my colleagues agreed to let me choose the restaurant for our Toronto dinner. After narrowing the options down to about a handful, I further zeroed in on Jump, which possessed an extremely interesting menu. We entered the beautiful, modern space and took in the industrial, manly decor of dark browns and black. The dining area was sprawling and offered a variety of seating beneath the lofty, high ceilings.
We decided to celebrate our productive afternoon with a bottle of white wine from their elaborate list. We began sipping the crisp beverage while we munched our way through the bread basket, which included rosemary crisps, foccacia, and crusty slices of artisan Italian bread. We also ordered starters to satisfy our rumbling bellies. I began with the Wild and Tame Mushroom Soup. The fragrant, earthy broth contained at least six different kinds of mushrooms, each putting forth their own signature flavor. The soup was lean in the sense that it did not contain any butter or cream, yet it was barely strained and contained comforting chunks of its namesake vegetable. Fresh mushroom and chive slices acted as garnishes, peering out from within the broth. I absolutely loved the dish. My co-workers, however, did not find their half a dozen Oysters very fresh. Even the spiced red pepper dipping sauce, fresh horseradish, cool lemon, and classic mignonette apparently did not do much to enhance the flavor.
My Mahogany Glazed Black Cod entree was perfectly cooked and served with an aromatic Indian blend of curried lentils, both enhanced with sprigs of cilantro and cool mint chutney. The Veggie Bowl that my colleague had ordered was an Asian-style compilation of cauliflower and Chinese cabbage served over jasmine rice and tossed in a Thai red coconut curry. The fragrant seasoning really added an unique kick to the traditional vegetables.
Lastly, I found our SOMA Molten Chocolate Cake dessert to be another home run. The warm, moist pastry was topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a sweet espresso syrup, and fresh strawberries. It was decadent and rich, but the fruit somehow made it feel lighter.
After all of my effort and dedication to the worthy cause of satisfying our hunger, I was disheartened by my companions' distaste for the meal. I really did not agree with their sentiments and would still recommend the restaurant for its flavorful food and entertaining atmosphere.
