| - I was really not wanting to write this review. I didn't want to, but the experience I experienced here recently compared to a few years ago was dreadful. I took my partner here for her birthday, and we were beyond excited as I had my 19th birthday years ago and I enjoyed my meal. So we ordered three appetizers and a main. Below are their descriptions and our experience with them
"Scallops -pan-seared scallops, crispy risotto cake with a truffle oil cream sauce"
There was no sear at all, it was honestly like they threw them in the microwave and sent them to our table. The "crispy" risotto cake was anything but crispy, when it came out it was soggy and flavourless, like the scallops and when we turned it over the bottom wasn't even cooked and fried. We didn't even attempt to eat this mess.
"Brie Crémaux - breaded brie cheese, candied onion raspberry cranberry concasse"
The brie came out warm as well which we didn't understand as we were truly the only ones in the restaurant minus a few people only drinking beers on the patio.
"Crevettes -Grilled Tiger Shrimps, grilled pineapple, honey-pineapple coriander sauce, chili flakes"
This was the only one my partner actually enjoyed, which was pretty upsetting when you think of it, we ordered four dishes and of all of them, she enjoyed 6 shrimp and a piece of pineapple.
"Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon -two 4oz. bacon wrapped tenderloins, black peppercorn dijon mustard sauce, potatoes & market vegetables"
This wasn't that bad, the bacon wasn't crispy at all and the sauce was actually insanely salty, I'm from Newfoundland, we eat salt and this salt was pretty overwhelming even for me.
Overall the let down was very real. We drove in 2 hour traffic for a meal that was quite frankly, lacking in every way. It's not a cheap place to go, so if you're looking for better food that's worth your money... don't come here.
