| - Fuze on Fourth moved into Mission after closing its doors in Banff. We like to support local shops and restaurants, so we decided to check it out a few months ago. Many visits later, Fuze has become a favorite.
My interpretation of Fuze's menu: A fusion of Indian, Thai (they make some great green curry seafood dishes including a yummy calamari risotto), Mediterranean and French classics like beef bourgignon. Their panko-crusted goat cheese salad with walnut vinagrette is a nice light lunch option.
Their dessert selections also solid and generously sized: They have a heart-warming sticky toffee pudding and a massive messy black forest cake (though I would like a little more chocolate flavor in the cake). On weekends, Fuze's brunch is a treat too.
Since their opening, I think Fuze has streamlined their menu including their wine and drink list which I don't think is a bad thing. They offer flights of wine (4 samples for 20$) for those who can't decide and want a taste before committing to a whole bottle!
Service: Always friendly, a little clumsy at times (I can tell who may be new staff members), but apologetic, personable and warm.
Ambience: Open, airy feeling with high ceilings and skylights. I don't care for the color scheme too much, particularly the maroon vinyl coverings on the tables (but it does make them easier to clean). In the summer, the patio is a great place to people watch and enjoy 4th street.
