| - What a quaint little cafe tucked at the corner of Ward's Island!
5-stars for the ambience: patio, location, and sun; 4-stars for food quality; 3-stars for price/value.
Grilled Calamari - perfectly grilled, slight char, not too raw, not tough. The spice rub was tasty yet not overpowering as it added the slight saltiness, just enough to balance off the lemon (squeezed) and tenderness of the squid. This appy ($7, for one) came with some side salad - a portion enough as snack item (sorta like a 2-bite brownie), and not enough to be a lunch meal.
Note: The for 2 portion cost $13 and extra baby green salad is $9... Only if they could set up a lunch-portion combo (more calamari, more salad) of some sort that cost no more than $18 this would've definitely upped the price/value rating!
The Callebut semi-sweet brownie was fantastic. The brownie came in two triangles, whipped cream and few pieces of berries. For $7 the dessert was great value! The brownie was warm that reminded me if a molten lava cake, melt in your mouth sweetness. Definitely a must-have with tea or coffee.
