| - Top chef menu-Two thumbs down!!!!
Milestones is the place where you go to for the sake of "easy", a too sweet bellini and a decent enough burger. However, one of my dining partners tonight is a huge fan of Top Chef and insisted we go to try their seasonal "top chef" menu and so we did tonight. Shoulda had the burger...
The starter pork croquettes tasted strangely like chicken liver, whereas another likened it to canned tuna fish. Texture was very odd.
Main was the sablefish with seaweed gnocchi. My fish had the skin on it, which was face down in the broth, so by the end of the meal, I had this black scaly goop which was so very unappetizing. The fish itself was nice, clean tasting, no real flavour. The seaweed gnocchi had no flavour at all and I likened it to mushy pablum. Broth was sour/sweet odd but I was happy for any flavour at all by that point. Also, one of us found 4 fish bones in her fish, while 2 of us found none. Chew slowly!
Dessert-a DISASTER. Strawberry shortcake with lemon curd. They used salt instead of sugar for the lemon curd. Made one of us gag and almost throw up. They took it off the bill.
So in the end, the best part of the meal was the too sweet bellini. Makes us wonder....if these dishes were the winners of Top Chef...poor McEwan.
