| - I purchased a Groupon $65 dinner for 2 (5 course Prix Fixe menu).
Food Quality & Price: For the price, I think I'd rather eat at the Keg. See comments of each dish below.
Appetizer (Foie Gras) - Delicious! I don't typically like liver but this was executed very well. There were three small bite sized pieces on toast. The third one kind of smelled and tasted like cat food but the first two were divine.
Salad - Disappointing. Nothing but your standard greens and choice of dressing.
Soup - Between the French Onion and Lobster Bisque, definitely go with the Lobster Bisque. French Onion was only okay (tastes better and costs less at Kelsey's). The LB was great, really wish I could have more (and more pieces).
Entree - Choice of B.C. Salmon or Angus steak (New York style - aka super thick). Salmon left much to be desired, definitely order steak. The steak is comparable quality to the Keg, though I daresay I prefer the Keg (which comes with cheese/garlic on top and sides). At Day & Night, none of the mains have any sides.
Dessert - Ice Cream & French Cream. Looks like little mousse cakes. Nice light finish to the meal.
(Not included in Groupon) We tried the waiter recommended West Coast Kusshi Oyster. They were small but very easy on the palette. Typically if you order oyster, know that east coast oysters carry a more sea salty flavour where the west coast oysters are creamier and milder. The oysters cost around $20 per half dozen (which is typical). After 9pm it is $2/oyster!!
On the regular menu, alcoholic drinks average $8 - 10. Filet Mignon (no sides) $32. Rack of lamb $24. Only two soups available for $8/$9 - just to give you and idea. So definitely on the pricier side (slightly higher than the Keg and about the same quality). You'll be coming either for the oyster bar or the experience.
Facility: The establishment went all out with decor. Loungy feel with dim lights and lots of neons. Washrooms were clean. Stalls were actually individual rooms with sinks in them. Ambience was nice (music was contemporary jazz), not too many people but enough to hear a generall buzz of conversation in the restaurant.
Service: Good. I was satisfied with our server who seemed knowledgeable about the oysters. He didn't try to push anything on us. Server was bilingual speaking both English and Cantonese. I would have liked to see him pop by more often or in the vicinity when we needed him and be more friendly. We were kind of stuck in the corner or the restaurant. Also I didn't understand why he removed our sparkling water at the beginning of service? No hostess at the door when we came in, waited for a while before being received.
Overall: Great place to try if you're looking for something new. Not sure if I would return for the simple fact that the food is on par with The Keg (a restaurant chain) and the price is slightly higher. The oyster bar is definitely the major attraction. Do I think it's worth the Groupon purchase? I would say no, but I do not regret buying it for the one time experience.
