| - My brother recommended "Your Truly" having heard rave reviews. The food was actually a joke. The menu consists of a prix fixe list of eight items of which you choose four options from. Our menu that night looked something like this:
Carrot Mackerel
Egg Herring
Mushroom Chicken
Chocolate Cheese
The idea is to choose four items total - one from each of the rows - to make up your meal. I chose carrot, egg, chicken and chocolate. My brother and I (joined by our mother) chose opposing dishes so that we could try everything. I started with the carrot. It was literally a freaking carrot... as in one measly carrot on a plate. It was a smoked carrot with smoked carrot cream on the side. We should have gotten up and left after that. It tasted so awful I could barely finish it. My mother and I just had to laugh at it and hope for the best with the rest of the meal.
Let me add in here that the kitchen provides "snacks" - little amuse bouches before and after the first course. Little garlic bread knots, prosciutto slices, a kimchi grapefruit palate cleanser and oysters. These snacks were actually the best part of the meal.
Next came the egg dish. The presentation was neat - with an interesting oval dish with a circular bowl centre set to look like a hard boiled egg cut in half. This dish was a take on eggs benny. It included a very lightly poached egg (unappetizingly raw), prosciutto, and croutons covered in hollandaise sauce. Nothing special. I've had a million times better and could make a better eggs benny myself.
Also to note here, the waitress informed us at the beginning of the meal that the left-hand column was supposed to be vegetarian options. This dish, however, had prosciutto in it? something's off there...
The chicken was nasty chicken thigh meat, practically inedible, and the chocolate dessert was OK. But there was some sort of chocolate piece still frozen on the plate. We literally couldn't eat it because it was rock solid. Maybe the chef was trying to insult us? Not sure. My brother had the cheese plate dessert. It was so sad. I watched him trying to enjoy it, because he stil hadn't given up hope on this place, being the hipster, foodie enthusiast that he is. He had to nibble at the three measly slices of cheese on his plate in order to make them last more than the ten seconds it should have taken to gobble them up.
Then the bill... including two cocktails, it was so effing expensive! Mind you, we knew that it was going to be $55.00 per person for the prix fixe menu... it was still such a sad feeling to know we just paid almost $250.00 for a meal that probably costed $3.00 to make.
Overall, it was not good. Not good at all.
