| - A+ MY SCENE.
So I have to admit, the yellow doors are a bit obnoxious...but a resto's got to do what a resto's got to do, amirite? I swear they probably get 95% of their guests coming in because of those yellow doors...and to be honest I am one of those people (because I guess I can't find places unless they slap me in the face with their lack of subtlety). Forget judging a book by it's cover--judge a resto by its doors!*
I see other reviewers had gripes about the drinks. Good thing I didn't order a drink (for once).
The food was delicious. This place is definitely on the pricier side, but with pretentious specials like jalapeno popsicles for dessert (KILLER GOOD), at least they deliver.
I came around for dinner and I had the milk poached veal (yes, their milk poached veal brought all the girls to the yard...well, at least me). Delicious. Tender, flavourful, filling. It also comes with some pieces of crab meat, which (forgive me if I am woefully ignorant) seemed like a strange combo. Well, if it works, it works. It worked.
For dessert, I went for the milk cake which had candied nuts and other sophisticated things attached to it. The cake was perfect. Delicate flavour, just right moistness without being too soggy.
And I really need to commend the decor. So it may be a bit over the top, but if the giant yellow doors didn't tip you off, I think that's what they were going for. Vintage-looking (but obviously expensive) stuffed plush chairs, carefully aged wooden tables, high class saloon decor (oxymoronic, yes), so hipster it hurt. Hurt so good.
On my way to the bathrooms, I noticed that the second floor has a private room that is sectioned off with velvety curtains and situated on a balcony of sorts that looks out onto the main dining floor. Looked like it would seat around 10 people or so. Seems like a perfect birthday camp for a group that enjoys voyeurism and people-watching. The bathrooms were all single rooms, just to round off the whole impressive interior.
Can't wait to come back... but maybe after my next paycheck!
