| - My first impression walking into the Trump Tower was "WOWWW... hey, I'd love to stay here for a while". It's decor was classy without being ostentatious. My S.O. and I boarded the elevator for our lunch date. We picked from the Summerlicious menu and an additional appetizer off of the a la carte menu. In an attempt to taste as many dishes as we could we ordered the Seared Fois Gras from the a la carte, the 100km Spinach Salad, Citrus-cured Atlantic Salmon, Pan Seared Royal Sea Bream, Grilled Angus Flat Iron Steak & Summer Ratatouille, Strawberry Pavlova, and the Sweet & Savoury.
Seared Fois Gras: Honestly, a little bit of a disappointment. I've had better. It was slightly undercooked and a bit watery. Considering it was $24, it was nearly the price we paid for each Summerlicious seating.
100km Spinach Salad: Nice and light, the dressing didn't drown the salad and it was well balanced.
Citrus-cured Atlantic Salmon: I felt like this dish was a bit confused with bits of popcorn around the side of a nicely presented salmon ceviche. While the salmon was nicely prepared, the popcorn really threw this otherwise perfect dish off.
Pan Seared Royal Sea Bream: This was, for me, the saving grace. Beautifully crispy skin, very succulent and flaky. Perfectly cooked on a bed of well seasoned couscous salad. Definitely recommend this dish to any of the fish lovers out there.
Grilled Angus Flat Iron Steak: The cook on this meat was amazing. Perfectly medium rare. Not much to improve on here but (and I am being slightly picky on this) I found the mustard seeds to be slightly overpowering, not entirely drowning out the taste of the meat but getting close to it. Otherwise, perfectly seasoned.
Strawberry Pavlova: The mix of the strawberry and rhubarb is a classic. Mixed with hints of mint, it was a very nice dessert to cleanse the palate. Nice and light.
Sweet and Savoury: This was a bit of a miss for me. The peach macaron was dry and brittle. Not at all what I was expecting to get from a macaron where you have a crispy outside shell and a soft center. They might have well stuck two peach biscuits together and called it a macaron. The cheese was good though, and so was the black current truffle.
The service was nice, polite, friendly, and attentive. They're not the type to pester you too much during dinner which I like because I do enjoy a certain degree of privacy.
All in all the experience was alright, for the price you pay it's a pretty good deal to go for Summerlicious. I probably wouldn't recommend coming here during the regular a la carte menu just based on the price to quality aspect.
