| - Tried the Winterlicious 2017 menu prix fixe at $48 per person. Food was alright to say the least but nothing super amazing. The interior seems fancy and there was a function going on as well. Had a nice waiter whom was attentive.
[MEH] Baguette & sourdough bread: Hard and nothing too special. Served with two cute butter balls.
[YES, BABY YES!]Cured Lake Trout Salad (Buttermilk dill vinaigrette, radicchio and frisée salad, pistachio, trout caviar): The best and most delicious item on the menu. Sturgeon caviar was fresh and "bouncy," can taste that it was not frozen. Not so much a vinaigrette, but more of a creamy dressing.
[MEH] Lamb Tagine Terrine (Carrot, cumin, coriander, preserved citrus): Friend like the taste of it, but he really did not like cold meat.
[GOOD] BC Ling Cod (Savoy cabbage, confit apples, trumpet mushrooms, creamer potatoes, crème fraîche): Smelled quite fragrant and buttery. Was quite tasty with the mushroom and was cooked just right. The only thing was that it was a bit too salty, other than that it was not too bad.
[MEH] Braised Pork Cheeks (Coco beans, tomato passata, swiss chard, carrots, jus): Friend did not like the beans. He said meat was tender and juicy, but it did not suite his palate.
[NOT BAD] Paris-Brest (Choux, hazelnut praline cream): Excellent hazelnut profiterole where the top is crunchy and the cream was not too sweet. Very good, especially with the candied nuts *drools*.
[TOO SWEET] Camp Fire S'mores (Smoked marshmallow, graham crackers, chocolate ganache): This was too sweet, especially with the puddle of chocolate and marshmallow, but my friend like it more.
Had a nice experience overall. Will I return? Maybe for brunch
