rev:text	First, I have to stress that this much-lauded bistro is TINY. Not 'how-quaint and pretty, a cute little spot' - but as in 'turn-sideways-and-walk-in' TINY. That said, please do not come here with a party of 4 - or God forbid more - because it will be nearly impossible to accomodate you. It truly is a slight, unassuming-looking neighbourhood place that has gotten a crazy amount of press in the foodie world. On to the ambiance and food...Exposed brick wall and hanging lightbulbs are the gist of the decor. Casual vibe. At 6 pm on a Tuesday, two tables were free. Crowd consisted of a few couples, literary-discussion-and-scarf-wearing ladies, and a few I'll call hipsters (hey, I'm from Scarborough! Rare sight for me! Heh.) sitting at the bar. If I stretch, I could call it cozy. That said, the promise of incredible food is the main reason we came! Onwards... Food: Keep in mind, it's "Asian tapas" - small plates. I ordered a hodge podge of 3 dishes: lamb and prosciutto dumplings (just 4 came, not accompanied by soy, but another somewhat sweet, dark, unidentified sauce). They were tasty, but I could not overwhelmingly decipher either the lamb or the bacon! Next, I had sea bream ceviche with yuzo. Okay, I admit I ordered this because I heard so much raving and gushing about it...but I hate to admit that I did not enjoy it at all. There was a lot of burnt garlic on top of it, which seemed to be the predominant flavour. The fish itself was just cold and firm and slimy, and I got flushed and dizzy after eating it. Third, I had the pork belly with muscatel reduction - a very heavy, rich dish which left me struggling to finish it. I cannot recommend it, from this experience. My friend had far better luck with her choices; she ordered the blue crab and avocado salad, which I shared with her - very, very nice. Crispy with sesame seeds and a nice tangy pop, in a cute avocado shell. She also liked her crispy shrimp with lime and garlic. For dessert...only one choice! So I tried it. Sticky rice pudding with a raspberry compote. So a mix of cold and warm. To be honest, my Greek grandma made a killer rice pudding, and this didn't compare. It was just one semi-sweet mush, with a serviceable fruit topping for a bit of colour. I was very underwhelmed by Foxley Bistro.
