my friends and i went to Kultura's winterlicious to celebrate my friend's birthday. I didn't like how they asked for a CC number when we're just making reservations, it makes customers nervous and unsure if they really want to eat there.
service: my waitress (sadly did not get her name) was very polite and thanked us for coming to celebrate my friends birthday ( i never had a server that thanked me). They offered a free dessert to the bday girl besides the dessert that came with the prix fix but there were no other dessert selections besides the winterlicious desserts. When it got busy the service slowed down, if its during winterlicious then wouldn't you hire more ppl? i didn't like having finished plates infront of me for 15mins after each course.
decor/ atmosphere: i loved the decor and ambiance. it was really nice and i was so glad that they weren't blasting out music and having everyone shout across the table.
food: appetizers: the Dungeness Crab Naan had a huge portion compared to the others, but overall the apps were nothing special. however, i did like the Chai Tea Glaze that came with the chicken samosas. IMO the sea bass was the best entree, it was so juicy and buttery. The flank steak was cooked medium rare, and they didn't even ask my friend how she wanted it. There were high reviews for the Mushroom Orecchiette but my friends said that it could've been better. I wasn't too excited about the dessert selection, no one ordered the doughnuts because we read that tim hortants made better timbits so we ordered the cheesecake and creme brulee. The cheesecake tasted like pure butter. The creme brulee tasted different..maybe because it was almond flavor? i just couldn't put my finger on it.
overall, the experience was good.
