  • Rating: 3.5 stars. I've been wanting to try out this restaurant, esp. with friends' and colleagues' recommendations and raves about this place. Perhaps my expectations were too high based on this feedback, but I found my dinner to be good, but not blow-me-away good! I'm really glad to have finally dined here, and cross this off my list, though. Service was fairly laid back yet attentive. When our server got busy with a larger party, others always stepped in to ensure that our meal moved along without issue. I had a cockail that was pretty fun - a Tikki drink, served in a heavy copper pineapple-shaped vessel. A little awkward for a table for two, but the "pineapple" certainly made for a conversation piece. Onto the food...Because I'd heard so much about the various dishes, we opted to go a la carte instead of trying the chef's choice, to ensure we got a chance to try all the dishes that we'd heard about: - Ponzu beef carpaccio - 2/5. Very salty, and a very small portion of carpaccio for the price. - Pumpkin dumplings - 4/5. A very rich tasting dish with 5 little dumplings on offer. Perhaps a wee bit too sweet, but otherwise a very distinct taste. - Big Mac "bao" - 2/5. This wasn't on the menu, but the server said that we could order it. This was perhaps the biggest disappointment of the night. - Mapo Doufu Halloumi - 3/5. The pieces of Halloumi were tiny, and while we know Halloumi can be salty, the dish was overpoweringly salty, and lacked the spices and layers of flavour in the usual mapo tofu dish. - Truffled fried rice - 3.5/5 - I liked it, but my dining companion did not. I feel that the truffle put a spin on traditional fried rice and worked really well. He felt taht it was still quite ordinary in taste. - Fried Giggie Trout - 3.5/5 - we liked this, especially the presentation, but found it a little greasy. We mostly ate it plain, after tasting the three dipping sauces that came with it, and finding them to be nothing extarordinary. The pace of the meal was nice; we were not rushed, and the above was enough to fill us up. Would we be rushing to go back? Probably not. I'd probably opt for a really fancy Chinese meal up in Markham instead if these are the kinds of flavours I'm craving.
