| - I came here for lunch for Winterlicious 2017. The restaurant is very quaint and quite small, with an open concept kitchen. Our service was great, and I love that this restaurant participates in training people to enter the hospitality industry.
To start, I had a carrot and ginger soup. It was pretty good, and I liked the texture, but it was missing a bit of seasoning. For my entree I had the beef brisket sandwich. The bread was fresh, but there was way too much bread for the amount of meat in the sandwich. I ended up eating only half of the bread. The caramelized onions were really nice, and the small amount of beef I had was tender and flavourful.
For dessert, I had the french toast bread pudding with Chinese Tea anglaise, sprinkled with brown sugar. This was my favourite dish by far. I loved the flavours and the portion size was nice.
Overall, I wasn't super impressed with the execution of the dishes, but I love the restaurant concept. I want to come back to try their regular menu, because I find winterlicious/summerlicious isn't always the best indicator of the quality of a restaurant. The plating was absolutely gorgeous as well.
