| - Summerlicious 2016
Lunch menu
Price: $23 + tx
Ordered:
App - Crispy Oyster (1 oyster)
Main - Albacore tacos (2 tacos)
Dessert - Ice Cream Sundae (in a jar)
App: a lot of batter, but the oyster inside was not small, so that helped a bit and the black mayo spicy sauce gave it a good kick. The batter, however, was too thick that it brought down the whole taste.
Main: the taco shell (soft) was pretty bad. It brought apart the moment I grab hold it it, also it tasted very odd and flour-y like it wasn't fully baked or cooked enough. The albacore chunks (2 per taco) was nice and thick and perfectly seared on the outside and raw on the inside (the way I like it). I ended up eating the taco with a fork and only ate what was inside and left the shell to its lonesome.
Dessert: Can't go wrong with dessert, and they didn't . My ice cream (jar )sundae was fun, tasty with lots of complimentary flavours (brownie, compote, cherry, chocolate shavings) and very satisfying.
I was really looking forward to eating at this restaurant (for years), however, the first two dishes left me high and dry. But, the dessert bumped up their rating by 1.5 to make it a total of 3 stars.
Quite honestly, I think Summerlicious has gone down in the last 5-7 years. When I first moved here in early 2000, the portions were bigger, the taste were equal to their regular menu and the quality of it all was so much better.
