rev:text	If I had reviewed this restaurant after my first visit about a year ago I probably would have given it 5 stars. I had a wonderful meal with my bf and my mom and her husband. I had tuna tartare which was delicious and a lobster risotto that I absolutely loved. Unfortunately my second trip was not as wonderful. I still love the space, its warm an inviting despite being a very large restaurant with a lot of tables and high ceilings. The view of downtown is spectacular and the wall to ceiling windows are beautiful - note, I was chilly the first time I sat by the windows. We made a last minute (day before) New Year's Eve reservation as I guessed such a big space was likely to have a table left and they did. It wasn't even that busy when we were there although we had a 9:30pm reservation so perhaps we missed the rush. I didn't mind, we had good attention from our server and wine guide. First, the drinks. They made a good martini - our favourite is a dirty, dry martini and they didn't disappoint although the olives were a bit dry - old? The wine however was WONDERFUL - a Niagara-on-the-lake winery that my bf and I have been to before so have a special place in our hearts for it - Lailey - Pinot Noir - 2009 I think? It was delicious. The food...there was a prefixe that didn't interest either of us so we ordered a la carte. I had the tuna tartare again - it was good, not amazing, I think it was better the first time. We shared the scallop sashimi which was the best thing we ate for sure. It was delicious with a touch of radish and greens which was amazing. My bf had the octopus - not something this vegetarian (obvious occasional fish eater - usually went at a restaurant) eats and my bf said it was overcooked on the outside pieces and he didn't love it. Our mains were a lingcod for me (I asked the waiter who knew I wasn't a meat eater and was iffy on fish whether the lingcod or yellowfish tuna was better and he said the lingcod) and scallops with beluga lentils for my bf. Mine came out - GASP - with a whack of prosciutto on and around the fish!!!! You would think that's something you'd mention in the description of a fish dish...it wasn't - nor did my server tell me which was odd and he even seemed surprised when I told him we sent it back. The good news is they did bring me a fresh one (not just the previous one with the prosciutto removed) - the server said he grabbed it before it got to that stage - and the dish was pretty fantastic. A creamy sauce with good vegetables and a perfectly cooked piece of whitefish. I was pleased at the end. My bf was not as thrilled with his scallops. He didn't like the beluga lentils which pretty much ruined the dish for him. He should have had a steak... We didn't stay for dessert this time and were only mostly happy with our meal. I had been really looking forward to going back there and making it one of my favourite Toronto restaurants but was disappointed. We are hard to please, but not that hard. Don't put ham on my lingcod...or at least let me know its coming ;-) I'd be willing to give it another try sometime - perhaps it was the New Year's menu that threw them off - by the way the lobster risotto I loved so much last time was not offered - so perhaps it will be back if I am.
