| - 4.5/5
My gf and I came here for dinner, during Winterlicious. What made me choose this restaurant was their selection for dinner. It was consistent and I wanted to try everything on the menu. Even though, I already knew what I was going to order. The ambience of the restaurant was great. The hostess (I wish I got her name. She was very accommodating). She took our jackets and was very friendly.
For the appetizer, I got the French Onion Soup. I've had a lot of French Onion Soup. Although it may be visually appealing, with all the cheese, I base the soup on the broth. There was only one place I thoroughly enjoyed it at (Which was Colette. Their soup was made with beef oxtail) whereas other places, it lacks the flavour of the beef broth. Annona's French Onion Soup was good, had flavour (Onions were overpowering, which to me is a good thing. I love onions) but I just wish it had more of that beef broth flavour.
For the main course, I got the Char-Grilled Beef Medallions, cooked rare. I was certainly pleased to see that the beef was cooked rare.
For dessert, I had the Chocolate All The Way. Which was a layered chocolate roulade genoise, with couverture mousse, cassis gelee, cassis cubes, gold nugget, blackberries, chocolate sauce (Taken from the Winterlicious site, because I don't know how to describe it). I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Hence the 4.5/5 rating. Should've had the Maple Creme Brulee instead.
Other than that, our waiter was attentive, friendly and quite possibly, set a record for how often he came back to pour ice water into our glasses. We didn't have to ask! (We like to stay hydrated). I'd definitely come back here again!
