Came here for an anniversary dinner on a Saturday night. We made a reservation thinking that it would be pretty full but the restaurant was half empty at 7pm.
Atmosphere: 5/5
- I love the interior design of the restaurant. It's super simple yet elegant.
- not too loud... definitely an intimate place for a special date!
- love their choice of background music
Food: 4/5
- butter for the complimentary bread is sooo good. They put some sort Indian spice in there.
- we ordered the torched hamachi ($19) as a starter. It was also very good. The flavours really compliment each other and the sashimi was very fresh. Overall I would recommend this dish if you like something light to start off.
- butter poached lobster with beet was our 2nd starter. It was plated really well but they only gave two small pieces of lobster for $28. Although the beet purée pairs well with the lobster I found the lobster was on the undercooked side
- pan roasted Atlantic halibut ($38): very light and herbal paired with the sweetness from the grapes and pommes purée. The fish is cooked very well and the potato purée goes well with the dish!
- 40 days dry aged strip-loin ($48): a very tough cut of meat. It definitely has that funky taste of dry aged meat but a little over seasoned. Very flavourful! I was impressed with their house made prosciutto though!
Service: 3.5/5
- the staff was very friendly and approachable however when our waiter came to take our order he interrupted my date so that I can order first
- we didn't have to wait too long for food but the bread did take a while for them to serve and for the bill to come in the end
- it was very nice of them to ask if we wanted more bread tho!
Overall we would recommend getting the torched hamachi for starter and halibut!
