| - SUCH a beautiful atmosphere. I love the look and feel of Wish - very cozy and intimate with a romantic feel. I can't emphasize enough how lovely this restaurant looks and feels!
A friend and I visited Wish during Winterlicious. We ordered the Blue Moon Crab Cake for our appetizer. It was very delicious. Warm crab with crispy breading and delicious with a nice aioli and tomatillo salsa to complement it well. This appetizer wasn't heavy or greasy, but it was quite filling, and I found myself pretty satisfied and full before the main course.
My friend and I split our meals so each of us could try a bit of both. She had the Charlotte, which was like an eggs benedict without the hollandaise. "2 poached eggs on english muffin with smoked salmon, parmesan, leek fondue served with fries". I found that the smoked salmon was a bit too salty for my liking, though the textures worked well together.
I had the Baked Croissant with roasted brined turkey breast, aged cheddar, kabocha squash spread, apple relish and arugula, served with fries. This was DELICIOUS! The turkey was perfectly moist, unlike many turkey sandwiches that tend to be dry. The squash spread was so lovely, it had a great texture and went well with the cheese and apple relish. Any sandwiches made with croissants are two things: one, terrible for you; and two, 100x better than regular sandwich bread. The crispiness of croissants always win me over. It had the perfect amount of arugula as to not overpower the other flavours of this dish.
Fries - they were nice and crispy, but we BARELY touched them! Our dishes were already so filling, that with the heavier appetizer and our dishes being so savoury, the fries were sadly ignored. We asked to take them to go and ended up forgetting them at the restaurant.. I'm sure they would have been delicious, but with the 3-course Winterlicious meal, it probably would have been more economic to remove the side of fries.
For dessert, we had the Millefoglie and the Blueberry Coffee Cake. After a bite of the coffee cake, I asked the server if I could have it warmed up. It definitely would have gone great with coffee (which our server did offer so I'm the only one to blame), but having it warmed up to begin with would have been a nice touch. It just seemed kind of lazy to serve it sliced and on a plate. Maybe it's just me, but I think that type of dessert should be warmed. The millefoglie was alright. It was quite a large slice, but tough to cut and didn't taste very fresh, kind of chewy? The cream puff was redundant. I'd like to give this dessert another try, maybe at another restaurant or when Wish serves a fresher piece. I feel like it has the potential to be a delicious dessert.. but it just didn't happen during my visit.
Overall, wow this is a long post, I love Wish and can't wait to visit again! :)
