This was my third visit to Epic. One out of the two previous times I came for Summerlicious. So this was my first Winterlicious lunch experience here. Obviously my return was based on a positive experience. The service was good for the most part.
For starters I had the Royal York Seafood Chowder with Maritime Salmon, Scallops and Shrimp, and Fine Herbs. As soon as it arrived at the table, the aromatics convinced me I was going to like it. I absolutely loved it!!!
Then I had the Asparagus & Sesame Lobster Salad with
Citrus Yellow Beet Emulsion, Baby Blonde Frisee, Toasted Hazelnuts, and Sweet Onion Chili Vinaigrette. This was such a delight. The salad was perfectly dressed and the vinaigrette itself was really bright and full of flavor. The asparagus was bitter so I avoided it.
I finished off with a White Chocolate and Caramel Cheese Cake With Rhubarb Chutney. I loved the cheesecake and couldn't get enough of it. The rhubarb chutney came off a tad bit savory on its own but worked well with the cheesecake.
This was another great experience at epic. I actually liked what I had during Summerlicious better. Maybe that's because I'm partial towards scallops and braised short ribs. This lunch was obviously on the lighter side and much needed during Winterlicious. Keep up the good work epic.
