| - Stumbled upon this restaurant while going through the mazes that is the Shops of Don Mills. Came in around 8:30pm on a Saturday night and it was packed. Surprisingly we were seated pretty quickly in a spacious booth towards the back walll.
Decorwise this a really beautiful restaurant. Wood panneling lined the walls, beige banquets and solid wooden tables. This restaurant really glows.....the ceiling looks like a white sandy ocean floor with ripples running through and it glows in different colours.
Our waiter was really friendly and gave us plenty of time to go over the menus. The drinks menu is digital...like on a Ipad sort of device...first time experiencing that at a restaurant but it was very easy to use and pretty cool.
For drinks we started off with a Red Wine Sangria. It was huge....bigger then what I expected in a tall glass with strawberries and oranges floating inside and garnished with a squewer of berries. Refreshing and tasty, I'm glad it was huge.
After we placed our order the waiter brought over a compliamentary amuse bouche.
Toast crisps with cranberries and sunflower seeds with a trio of dips consisting of an artichoke hummus, butternut squash, and pesto. I enjoyed all the dips and loved the crisps...good start to the meal.
Appetizer
Bruschetta Flatbread - Made with 100% whole wheat floor topped with marinated plum tomatoes, goat cheese & fresh basil.
Ample amount of toppings...no skimping on goat cheese here and a nice crisp crust.
Main
Asian Black Cod steamed with black bean sauce, served with asian vegetable stir-fry & aztec rice.
Could possibly be the best fish dish I ever eaten! The Cod was succulent juicy and every morsel was very flavourful. I loved the aztec rice, nutty tasting with a blend of red rice, brown rice, split peas, and lentils. Beautiful presentation and good portion size. Super yummy!
Dessert
The waiter brought over a rack of a whole bunch of mini dessert shots and went over each selection. Great assortment but after I heard the word peanutbutter I stopped listening to the rest.
Chocolate peanut butter shot - Garnished with a pecan and topped with a thick chocolate ganache followed by creamy peanutbutter cheese cake and a chocolate cookie crust...I savoured every bite!
I also snagged a bite of my dates Smores Shot - creamy marshmellow filling, chocolate mousse and graham cracker crust....also very good!
Washed down with tea and coffee. A superberb meal from start to finish! Excellent service, friendly waiter that was attentive throughout the whole meal, and I was shocked that despite how packed the restaurant was, wait times for seats and food were very quick. I definitely recommend checking this restaurant out if you are ever in the Don Mills area. Beautiful decor and a great menu.
