I am a big fan of Susur Lee and this restaurant has been on my "must eat here" list for a while! Getting reservations for 2 a few days in advance for 8:30 was no hassle at all.
We were a few minutes late (darn King and Spadina construction) and the staff were pleasant and courteous. We were promptly seated and given a thorough explanation of the style (its a sharing plate place).
We ordered the slaw, scallop, and slow braised beef.
The slaw comes to your table and the waitress will toss it for you and explain all 16 ingredients (maybe 19 but I stopped counting). It was fresh, delicious, great texture and very filling!
The scallops were good but there were 3 for $26 - pricey. The slow braised beef was also good but I prefer the one at Bent better.
For dessert we got the French and Chinese Tong Yuen - delicious little rice dumplings filled with chocolate and nougat and nuts - little bites of heaven.
Overall I thought the food was good, but not great. The service however was excellent! Extremely attentive servers who didn't rush you at all. The food was well spaced apart. Definitely go and order the slaw... you won't be disappointed!
