  • We REALLY should have read the most recent reviews on Sambucas before swinging by. I came with my wife, son and daughter. We decided on Sambucas after shortlisting it down from 10 other restaurants taking part in Summerlicious based on its offering for its prix fixe. The swordfish grabbed my son's attention so we chose Sambucas. The dinner didn't really get off to a good start as the bread was dry and crumbly. For appetizers, we had the arancinis with mushrooms and salad. The arancinis were alright though nothing fancy. The salad had a nice dressing to it. For the mains, we had the (1) swordfish, (2) grilled sirloin, (3) shrimp & lobster fettuccine and (4) risotto. Let's proceed from best to worst. The risotto was cooked very well and was flavourful. Of the 4 kinds of entrees we ordered, this was by far the best. Definitely would be nice in the Fall or Winter! The next best was the swordfish. It was cooked okay, right on point. It was accompanied by steamed vegetables which were nicely done. The shrimp & lobster fettuccine was okay but the pasta was definitely on the hard side. I like pasta "al dente"....and this was harder than al dente for sure! Furthermore, it was dry as it lacked any sauce. The sirloin really bad! It was ordered as rare (I was shooting for medium rare) and it came out medium well. Since it was a long wait, I didn't ask for it to be returned and re-done. But it was really chewy and even with a steak knife, it was rather hard to cut! I really can't say I was the least bit impressed by that. Now for the piece the resistance...dessert! We ordered two deep fried tiramisu and two creme brulees. The tiramisu was actually served wrapped in a crepe (think burrito!). The tiramisu inside was borderline okay but the presentation wasn't quite our thing. The creme brulee was REALLY BAD!!! It was almost like a cross between a creme caramel (in that it was really light) and a creme brulee. But the consistency was bizarre. It was not smooth, nor was it firm. It was quite chunky...almost like a rice pudding. I don't know if the quality of food was so poor BECAUSE we ordered off the Summerlicious menu. If so and Sambucas was hoping we will never return, then they achieved that goal.
