| - I am not a promoter, but seriously guys, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT for Savour Mississauga. Good value.
---------------------
Thank you Savour Mississauga and Yelp for helping me discover new/hidden restaurants in my neighbourhood. I went here as part of the Savour Mississauga event in a Yelp group. When I walked into the restaurant, I was thinking "umm..this place is so nice and so formal, do I even belong here with my lack of table manners, my penchant for eating anything and everything no matter how it tastes and my lack of fine dining cuisine knowledge?" Well, I still haven't figured that out, but the staff was so friendly so at least they made me feel like my business was wanted.
Anywho, enough about me, ordered the $35 prix-fixe menu and had:
FOOD: 5/5
-ANTIPASTO AUTUNNO
The salami was okay, but what really added some amazing flavours was the grilled Polenta and Scarmoza cheese. The light saltiness of the plate really got my tastebuds going and helped me appreciate what was to come. Beautiful presentation. 5/5
CAIFORNIA CUT STEAK & SHRIMP (SURF & TURF)
I love my steak and like it medium rare. This was probably a perfect medium rare, but I did find it slightly salty. Not a big deal. What I really appreciated though was the mushroom cream sauce. It added some flavour, without overpowering the natural steak flavour. I prefer my steaks to have very light flavouring so I can tell the freshness and quality of the meat. The shrimp was not bad. Believe it or not though, my fave part was the potatoes. I don't know what it was about it, but I could have eaten more of these. 4.5/5
STRAWBERRY CHESSECAKE TART
Sweets are my enemy!!! Yucky aftertaste, make me fat, give me sugar highs and lows, etc, however this was a dessert that I wouldn't mind befriending. It wasn't too sweet, but had great flavours. The tart was nice and crisp, and the icing/whip cream wasn't too heavy either and you could taste each component of the tart.
AMBIANCE: 5/5 - Amazing place to take a date or any special occasion.
PRICE: 4/5 - honestly, all of us ordered off the Savour Mississauga prix fixe menu with the exception of one person . He had calamari and liver and they were $11 and $20 respectively for very healthy sized portion and I got the impression from him it was really good. So really, pricing is probably equivalent to The Keg or slightly cheaper.
So definitely a hidden gem here and for Savour Mississauga - 5/5. However, as we were part of a Yelp group, I'm not sure if we were given any special treatment, so the next part is about freebies.
---------------------
DISCLAIMER: Extra's we may have received because it was a Yelp event as well, while the above is just Savour Mississauga.
SERVICE: 5/5 - I am sure there service is excellent for everyone else, but I wanted to put it in this section. We were given some freebies:
-Champagne
-Deconstructed panzella salad with mozarella. Very fresh veggies and interesting mixes of flavours and texture
-Homemade biscotti - I loved this. I think there was a lemon one and a Nutella one. I thought the Nutella one was a bit too sweet, but the lemon one was so soft and even tasted good without coffee. When I have biscotti, I usually have to dip it in coffee to soften the texture, but both of these were very soft and the lemon one had a nice tangy sweetness to it.
