I stopped in at about 6:30 on a Monday for a quick dinner. I grew up eating Boston Pizza, but I had not been here in a long time. The menu is large, with a wide array of sports bar type meals. I opted for the Seafood Fettucini, which is a good measure of how well a kitchen handles a variety of components.
The dish arrived in the standard pasta bowl. The seafood part was really about 5 medium-small shrimp and 5 decent sized scallops and was cooked perfectly, the scallops especially had not been cooked to rubber. The pasta was just at the edge of al dente. Where some joints would just throw delicate seafood in with pasta and cook everything to death, these must have been cooked separately, or timed properly.
But the sauce was absolutely flavourless. A bit like reduced milk. A healthy portion of fresh Parmesan on top was not enough to impart some flavour. The piece of dry toast representing Garlic Bread was not edible. For an $18 entree, this is not a value.
I followed up with desert to try an get a more vibrant flavour. They feature a new desert called "Doughcano" at $8 which is essentially a chocolate cake with chocolate sauce wrapped in their pizza dough and deep fried. The idea is great, but pizza dough? It was a match like peanut butter and anchovy. With every bite I couldn't stop thinking about the clash of flavours. A sweet dough, like a Mexican desert would have worked, but this was just unnerving. I left 3/4 uneaten.
I think I can now recall why I have not been here in several years.
