| - This is one of those instances where i wish i could do half-stars on Yelp.
I would say this is closer to 3.5 than 4...however, this was Winterlicious, so portions need to be taken with a grain of salt.
Found parking on the street right outside the place.
Lovely setting, intimate and nicely lit.
Strong wine and cocktail list.
Winterlicious menu was quite big. 5 choices each for appetizer and entree. I went with the chicken liver pate, and my friend had the asiago mac n cheese (which was quite good!)
Entree was a tiny bit disappointing...we both had the surf and turf. The surf was a small shrimp that was not cleaned very well (the plastic like skin was still on one side), and the turf was not seasoned at all. Like, no salt, no pepper, here's-some-meat not seasoned. Very surprising. The tiny bit of BBQ sauce that accompanied was tasty, but too small of a blurp of sauce. The poutine that came along was the best part.
Dessert was decent. I had a sorbet, and my friend had the chocolate dessert.
The neat surprise though is when the bill comes...it comes with a bowl of cotton candy!! :) Very fun.
So, all in all, was semi disappointing, but the parts i enjoyed, i definitely enjoyed. So willing to lean towards 4 stars than 3, but its reluctantly.
