| - Today was a perfect day! I got my yelp elite badge and I had a wonderful dinner at Bosk for Summerlicious. I am very happy that Toronto are doing Summerlicious AND Winterlicious annually and a lot of restaurants are participating. This is great for all the average foodie like me out there, because to be honest, some of the restaurants on the list, I do not think you would ever think of going to grab a regular dinner or lunch because of the extremely high prices!
Bosk is located inside Shangri-La and in order to get to the restaurant, you must walk through Shangri-La and the moment my friend and I walked it, we literally said wow, because of how beautiful the place was. As a bonus, they had a live singer singing in the lobby which was fantastic!
Once at Bosk, The hostess was very polite and upon providing her the reservation information, she immediately sat us down at a beautiful table at the back. The server for the table was super friendly and attentive. Dispute being Summerlicious and not ordering any alcoholic drinks, the server was still super friendly and professional.
Dinner for two and we ordered the below items to share:
Heirloom Tomato Soup - Appetizer
Seared Albacore Tuna
Roasted Flat Iron Steak - Main
Soy Glazed Pork Belly - Main
Dark Chocolate Mousse - Dessert
Mango Pudding - Dessert
Out of all the dishes, I was super impressed with the Seared Albacore Tuna, Iron Steak and the Dark Chocolate Mousse. All the food were presented very nicely, but those three just tasted even better! I want to point out the Soup is actually a chill soup and for me, I think it was too sour, so I didn't really like it.
The tuna was semi-raw and topped with lime dressing, which brought out the freshness of the tuna.
The steak was made to perfection, it was very juicy and easy to chew!
The Dark Chocolate Mousse was nicely presented and it tasted really good although it felt a little heavy.
The Pork Belly was tasty also, but I thought it was overcooked just a little so it was a little rough, however, I thought the chef did a great job on choosing the miso broth as sauce and it mixed in very well the pork belly!
Mango pudding, well, they had the lime sorbet on top and it was too sour for me, so I didn't really enjoy it. But I am very sensitive when it comes to sourness, so if you are into sour food, it might be a good choice for you.
Overall the experience was great, the reason why I gave it a 4 stars out of 5 instead of 5 of 5 is because the menu for lunch and dinner are pretty much the same, but dinner is $20 more, I thought by paying the extra, they would provide more choices for appetizers and desserts. If you are planning to try this place during Summerlicious, I recommend visiting during lunch time to save the additional $20 per person which you can put on drinks!
