| - Note: This review is for 2017 Winterlicious and is probably not a reflection of their regular service and menu.
I had a very good experience at Nota Bene few years back and decided to come back for 2017 Winterlicious. Let's just say that the food is merely average. We tried: Foie Gras, Pork chop, and the banana pudding.
I can probably sums up our experience at Nota Bene as being just average. Nota Bene, along with many high end restaurants in the city, fail to appreciate that Winterlicious is a way to attract repeat customers not just to make a quick buck with "$48" and delivering subpar food. Alas, this is exactly what happened.
The Foie Gras itself is decent, but the preparation is lacking of any imagination. It is being served with a biscuit, salad and some jelly. I would come to expect that there is at least some more thoughts being put into this dish. The pork chop is probably the most disappointing aspect being overcooked and chewy.
The service is brisk, but nothing to rave about.
Again, perhaps Nota Bene is a better restaurant during non Winterlicious days. However, for this occasion, it did not impress.
