| - Have you tried downtownfood yet? You need to. For real, put it to the top of your list of places you want to try.
The food is oh-so-pretty. Every time I'm in, my phone's out taking another picture to make all my friends drool (yes, I'm that girl. But what's a Yelper to do when she wants to share her appreciation for what's in front of her?).
You might be thinking, "But Wendy... pretty food is nothing if it doesn't make me want to roll my eyes into the back of my head with palatable pleasure." You would be correct, there's nothing worse than food that doesn't live up in taste to how good it looks. Here, you will not be disappointed. There is such attention to detail on the flavours and textures and I'm sure all other manner of food considerations that I know nothing about. If you aren't pleased for whatever reason, let them know! I've never met a Chef as committed to an exceptional eating experience for his patrons as Chef Darren.
The menu is ever changing, with daily lunch and dinner specials. In the past, I've enjoyed items like:
- banh mi board
- tuna tataki
- eggplant wantons
- pickerel
- tacos
- silken tofu
- salmon nigiri
- pan seared foie gras
The list continues...
You must try the 777 bacon.
Tips:
#1. Bring friends who love food and love to share food.
#2. If you're budget conscious, make sure it's your splurge night, or visit at lunch. It's like when you go on the vacation of your dreams, you want to enjoy every bit of it without worrying what your price tag will be... dtf is an experience worth paying for.
#3. Sit at one of the tables, unless you can get a full booth. The benches and the chairs are at different heights and it makes your meal a bit awkward when you aren't eye level with your dining mates.
#4. If it's still on the drink menu, order a silk kimono.
