Blink looks narrow and long from the outside. From the inside, though it is still much longer than it is wide, it's not as small as I initially thought.
Blink has impressed me from the get go. I made a reservation through Open Table. The day of, Blink called to confirm the reservation. When I arrived, our table was ready and waiting. My coat was hung in the coat room with care and I had hopes that my tablemates would all soon be there.
We were a table of 8 and ordered drinks and shared a few appys. We settled on the golden and chioggia beet tart, British Columbia spot prawn gyoza, and a plate of cheese from the charcuterie menu. I also ordered green hubbard squash with sage and potato gnocchi. Blink is one of the many restaurants that sources all ingredients locally. I think it shows in the flavour and freshness of the food. My favourites from our meal were the beet tart and the gnocchi. The first time I ever tried gnocchi was in Italy, so I'm always a little weary of eating it in Canada. Blink did this dish justice.
It may have helped that the restaurant was not all that busy during our visit, but our experience was nothing short of immaculate. As Danelle W mentioned, one of our dishes was modified easily to include goat cheese on the side and with no fuss from our server to accommodate one of our guests.
