I was impressed with Fring's since I had written it off because of its affiliation with Drake lol. But it is a Susur Lee restaurant so I decided to give it a try for Winterlicious.
We were seated at the bar, my boyfriend and I started with the soup and the salmon dish, I really loved the Tuscan soup with spicy sausage, definitely not overly spicy and so rich in texture and flavour. The salmon was essentially just a really good piece of salmon sashimi. I got the octopus as a main, I eat seafood often, and was not very impressed. The Korean skirt steak on the other hand was delicious!
Dessert was good, the trio option leaves you with no choice but to try all three and I liked all the options.
We also got the truffle fries on the side! I understand how expensive truffles are and this was tasty but these fries were not worth $20.
Cocktails were delicious and bartenders were helpful when making a selection! The cost quickly added up to be more than the cost of food, so if you're looking to stay within a budget, don't go for seconds with the wine or drinks.
Service was friendly for the most part. Waiters were attentive, knowledgeable and always clearing up quickly. Food came out very quickly we had all 3 courses in 37 mins. Only thing I was taken aback about was a waitress we hadn't seen all night sprung up on us to tell us she'd get our bill....after a 37 minute dinner while our glasses were still full and we were looking to order more. We had made a reservation and weren't just a walk-in they were squeezing in. We only stayed about 45 mins after that but did not appreciate the side-eye between the gentlemen walking around with ear pieces and that same waitress who hadn't been serving us. I think 2 hours is a standard allotted time for reservations...
Besides that food is good, drinks are good and service is generally good.
