| - A really modern spot, but the pasta isn't great.
Nicole H., Lady Chris P. and I decided to grab some food at the tail end of the Elite party. They were really impressed by the apps that were circulating, so we stayed.
Service was fantastic. I was impressed with the herbed olive oil for the bread, which was crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. The server also didn't hem and haw when we said we had a check-in deal. He just disappeared, and reappeared a couple minutes later with the cheques changed.
I had the seafood pasta, which was not great. When it arrived, the mussels were cold and the pasta was just a big gluey clump. The promised arrabiata sauce was quite spicy, but not as flavourful as I'd like. The calimari and shrimp were fine. It was a big dish, I couldn't finish it, but I was annoyed that I fell into the trap of ordering pasta from a restaurant again. It's almost always bad, so why do I keep doing it? I should have realized that pasta wasn't their main thing when I learned that there might be cream in the meatballs.
Nicole and Chris LOVED their respective dishes (trio of crostini with toppings and harvest salad).
I probably won't go back again. Getting there via TTC is exhausting and the prices don't justify the quality.
