It's weird seeing all these bad reviews for Toula. Makes me wonder if we even went to the same restaurant.
TM and I came here for a Summerlicious lunch and we were seated right by the window with an amazing view of the lake, islands and boats. A lovely summertime date. Personally I think this view is better than the 360 restaurant at the CN Tower (even without the spinning).
I ordered the smoked salmon app and roasted cornish hen. I finished it off with the dark chocolate panna cotta. TM ordered the same salmon app, ricotta/spinach ravioli in butter/sage sauce and creme brulee.
The smoked salmon was light and refreshing with just the right amount of salt and acid. My hen was moist and delicious, however I found TM's ravioli to lack in flavour slightly. He enjoyed it, but I was expecting a bit more. The portion was a tad small (I knew TM would need a post lunch snack) and I guess in value it just didn't compare to the other plates being offered. I thought it was a little basic, and they could have added some more oomph to it. Don't vegetarian options deserve a bit more sizzle?
Desserts were OK - but please don't take my word for it. I don't have that much of a sweet tooth and I find I have to be in the mood to really enjoy desserts. Don't mean to sound indifferent about the dessert, but that was the kinda day it was.
Overall a solid and enjoyable lunch and a steal at only $20!
