| - Went there for 2015 summerlicious dinner ($45)
Location/Environment:
Went there on a Sunday, surprisingly not too many people. Street parking is available (but carpool would be best to avoid issues). There's a lot of artwork inside the restaurant (I'm not too much into art, but they all look very nice). We sat at the corner by the window, which was perfect since it was a group of 5.
Service:
Our waiter was fantastic - he was funny, friendly and really made the dinner enjoyable. He recommended us a Portuguese white wine called Pinho Real. It's very good - light, sweet and only exclusive to their restaurant. The restaurant is a little bit upscale - so there were more staff available and serving you and they were all nice as well.
Food:
Appetizer - Goat Cheese, eggplant, portabella mushrooms, champagne vinaigrette
Surprisingly good. I loved how you can distinctively taste all the flavours, and it doesn't clash with each other. Note the goat cheese is a little strong for those who aren't into cheese that much. But I really liked the mushroom - very soft and easy to eat.
Main - Pan Seared Skate Fish on lemon coriander risotto
I'm not a fan of risotto - but it had skate fish, so I had to try. The skate fish was grilled very nicely on the outside; it has a grilled chicken taste to it. The meat inside was perfect - soft, not dry, boneless. I really enjoyed it. The risotto was not bad too. It was a good combination with the fish.
Dessert - Molotof, flan of eggwhies, crème anglaise
This is a Portuguese dessert, which is fluffy whipped egg whites. It was not bad first time trying it. There was a lot of honey/syrup around the molotof, which made it very sweet - a little too sweet for my tasting.
Overall it was a very nice dinner. A bottle of wine, good food, friends and chatting it up with the waiter really made it an enjoyable experience.
