| - Steak was excellent as usual! But I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I was quite unimpressed with the desserts. I swear I've had the bananas foster before, but I'm not sure in which city...I thought I had it at the Toronto location. But when I had it recently, it was nothing like I had remembered. Yes it was flambéed, but it was swimming in an orange citrus sauce that was much too strong in flavor taking the emphasis away from the banana. Then the scoop of ice cream was placed in said sauce, melting very quickly then topped with an orange zest that had been soaking in a stronger version of this citrus sauce. What I thought it had been was a dish with flambéed bananas, caramelized to a correct sweetness, no sauce, sitting on a dry plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side to compliment. I was looking forward to the bananas foster from my memories, but alas, maybe I am thinking of the wrong restaurant :( The cheesecake was okay, and the key lime pie was okay as well. Nothing that blew me away, or maybe I was too sad over the bananas foster that my taste buds were affected. But like I said, steak was excellent, my next visit will be more meat and no dessert.
