Scanning at all the restaurants that participating in the Savour York Region this year, I couldn't stop yawning... All these Italian restaurants serving similar items.. how many Cesar Salad can I eat?? Veal Marsala again?! $35 for dinner?? Until Grain's Bistro Menu caught my eyes!!
OK! The price helps a LOT $25 for prix fixe dinner?! Interesting Menu Selection? No more pasta!! Yes I am IN! The good thing that Linguine Frutti Di Mare is in the main menu just in case my boyfriend just want his usual!
Grains Bistro decor is chic, modern and minimalist. The bar area has a sport bar feel with big TV and there are also 2 others dining area that can be curtain off.
My Choice which is also the waiter's recommendation:
-Seared Ahi Tuna and Asian Slaw
- Moroccan Braised Lamb Shank served with Garlic Mush and Veggie
- Chocolate Torte
My dinner mate's choice:
- Golden Beet and Arugula Salad with Buffalo Mozzarella
- Creole Jambalaya (French Quarter Style Jambalaya with PEI Mussels, Shrimps, Clams, Langostino Lobster, Chicken, Andouille Sausage in a Spicy Creole Sauce)
- White Chocolate Vanilla Bean Mousse
I love all my choices!! The seared tuna was so heavenly!! Lamb Shank soft and tender, and chocolate torte was served warm!
As usual, other people food are always better?? My dinner mate started looking at mine!!! And when he started to make excuses of
- I don't eat Golden Beet?! What is Golden Beet? Your Tuna looked better
- Spicy Sauce for the Jambalaya is too spicy!! I think you would love that...
- White Chocolate Vanilla Bean Mousse? I don't like White Chocolate...
So switch... My waiter got a little confused....
Special mention is all our food were served piping hot and fresh! I guess it helped when we were the only table just one hour before closing!
I definitely be coming back again!! Especially on Saturday when Grain's Bistro has Live Jazz Performance!!
