| - LUNCH
The Beverly Hotel (@beverleyhotelTO) which is a 18-room boutique hotel that finally open after more than 2 years in the making. But of course I was there for the food and was excited to finally try Chef Eric Wood (@chefericwood) creations since he left Hawthorne by the time I went.
The entire first floor was the hotel while the 2nd and 3rd floor house the hotel rooms with a rooftop bar/patio which you can take the tiny elevator up.
We went for lunch on a sunny Saturday but was disappointed that they only served a few grilled skewers on the rooftop patio and I wanted to try items from their menu instead.... so we skip the sunny patio and opted to stay in and we were the only one there.
Free re-fills of coffee and Ben probably end up drinking 3-4 cups which means it's pretty goof coffee.
Charred Edamame $6
~ red chili, walnut, Cape Breton salt, herbs
~ This was very tasty and we can't help but keep devouring it. Unlike the boring steam plus salt version, this had a very nice pan-kiss to them with a very sticky thick sweet sauce to it with the perfect added crunch from the crushed walnut.
~ I will definitely try replication this at home real soon.
Buttermilk Fried Quail $12
~ sumac + savory, fireweed honey, onion sprout
~ I just had to order this since I loved it back when I tried it at Hawthrone (post here) and loved it.
~ But unfortunately somehow, this was less crispy and even a bit soggy although the flavors are still there
4 play @ Lunch $16
~ A quartet of samplings chosen by the chef daily and that day there was a refreshing light slaw + sauteed veggies & mushroom + Caborana pasta w/ bacon + grilled peach for dessert.
~ I was just in craving for pasta that day but would have otherwise miss the meat/protein here.
~ I initially expected really small portion but it was rather large portion, so so that I have to have Ben finished it... guess I couldn't have asked for a more perfect lunch at such a great price.
Beverly Burger $17
~ Guernsey cheese, bordelaise, pickle, watermelon, Kennebec Fries
~ Thought the meat was a bit overcook and dry but otherwise the combination of flavors were great. Love the refreshing burst of texture and flavor from the watermelon together with the strong Guernsey Cheese.
~ I have to say I love the fries here, it was incredibly well flavor with salt, pepper and herbs... you can basically munch on it even without ketchup.
Verdict :
~ Would definitely love to go back for dinner and try more dishes
~ But have to say service was a bit slow given that we were the only table.
