| - Hidden away on Temperance, off of Bay, The Chase was a fantastic find. Construction of yet another huge building project engulfs the area so you'd miss it if you didn't know what you were looking for. The restaurant is well designed, exposed brick, high ceilings, bright and with lots of character (blue glasses for water). Service was outstanding with highly knowledgeable and friendly staff - our waitress was great. Our group had the following:
- Oyster po'boy sliders (garlic scape tartar sauce) - cooked perfectly, delicately fried and meaty with a nice finish from the tartar
- Baked Clams - braised lamb neck, tamato jam, brioche crumble)
- Pan Roasted Scallop (toasted brioche, roasted fois gras, smoked duck, apple, lemon relish) - I didn't eat these but I was told it was amazing
- Swordfish - madras, chilli mint chutney, eggplant - excellent, nice spice and very tender fish. Not a fan of eggplant but it was cooked very well
- Lamb Chops - yogurt marinated and grilled, mint apple sauce and kale - didn't have this but was told it was good
- Lobster "Waldorf" roll - candied walnuts, apple, yogurt, milk bun, dill Yukon chips - I didn't eat this but there were mixed reviews although the chips were excellent
- Apple Crumble - Excellent
- Lime coconut desert - Excellent
Everything was terrific and I loved the service. Will absolutely be back!
