I had dinner here on Saturday night prior to the theatre. I had previously been here for lunch on numerous occasions. I'm still a fan of this establishment but some of the menu items we chose did not meet my expectations. My companion and I shared the following items:
Appetizers:
Crab cake - beautiful presentation but I could barely taste the crab which was mixed in with potatoes (I think). I found this quite disappointing.
Crispy Thai Shrimp - again, the presentation was beautiful. These were delicious.
Entrees:
Shrimp and scallop risotto - this arrived in a tomato sauce which was very plain. There were two large shrimp and a number of scallops but I was disappointed by the sauce. It tasted very generic and plain with very little flavor and substance.
Special of the day - pan seared salmon finished in the oven with vegetables and roasted potatoes. This dish was amazing. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the veggies were tender crisp and the potatoes were divine. I loved it.
Dessert:
chocolate pot de crème - again a beautiful presentation but I personally did not enjoy this dish. It had a very heavy and dense pudding-like texture to it which may be the way it is supposed to taste but I guess I was looking for something lighter and more mousse-like.
I really enjoyed the artisan cheese selection plate.
Next trip will see me trying one of the soups and staying with a fish entree.
