Trendy new Toronto hot spot where the Saint Tavern used to be.
The decor was on point as well as the music selection. There is a cool casual vibe and good energy.
In terms of the food, we ordered the whole scallops to start. They were beautifully arranged on a shell and drizzled with a delicious sauce. Very fresh and definitely tasted like the sea. I would recommend. Next was the albacore tuna - this was four large pieces of tuna (seared?) and covered with a caper heavy sauce. I love capers so I enjoyed this as well.
In terms of mains, the eurobass en croute did not disappoint. The fish was tender and delicious. I was disappointed I couldn't eat the salt pastry that was wrapped around it. The flatiron was good but not amazing. I was impressed with the pommes anna that came with it. The pommes aligot was also very delicious. We had a lot of potatoes.
Finally, the disco egg was worth it. I think $50 is a bit ridiculous but I don't get many chances to crush a beautiful chocolate egg so I'm ok with the decision. It's way too much chocolate for two people to eat, but it was more for the spectacle than for the actual dessert. We took the rest of the truffles and chocolate home. I think the restaurant is also getting a lot of social media hits for it and I'm guilty as charged.
My only complaint is with regards to the service. This would otherwise have been a four star review. For the price we paid, I would've expected more attentive service and I'm far from a demanding diner. For the most part, I like to be left alone to enjoy the meal. However, it often felt our waiter was nowhere to be found. He also wasn't very helpful answering our questions, and he was impossible to find when we wanted our check. Not to mention we had to find our coats ourselves as we were leaving. These are simple things you would expect when paying $100+++ per person but I guess that's a simple thing to improve.
