The atmosphere and ambience of the resturant is rather live, as well as has a contemporary feel to it. I loved the windows which gave natural lighting into the Restaurant which was lovely. Note that it dosen't seat many, so therefore they accept walk ins only. My bf and I were lucky to get a booth before the place got packed a little after 12pm.
Our server was fairly friendly and was thoughtful in introducing the menu to us as well as letting us know about portion sizes of tge dishes and about how many dishes to get if we were sharing. We ended up ordering the Crispy Squash (recommended by our server), Iceberg Wedge (recommended by a cook that works at the resturant), Hamichi Sashimi and foie terrine (Which my bf had high expectations for!).
While waiting for our food, we got complementary toasted cheese bread with yeast butter which was phenomenal.
However when our actual food came, we were a bit let down as it didn't full meet our expectations. The crispy squash was nothing special for my bf and I as it was similar to a sweet potato poutine, it was good with the carrying textures and the addition of the toasted sunflower seeds. However, the sauce that was poured on top was a bit rich for the both of us and it got sickening half way through. The hamichi was also a bit of a let down as we didn't find the flavors to suit very well, plus the cut of the fish and pears were too large that it felt awkward to have to cut them into smaller pieces. I liked the foie terrine as I found it tasty along with the grapes and cherries that were also on the dish, however my bf was disappointed that the foie had chunks of duck in it rather than it being fully smooth. To our surprise, the iceberg wedge was our favorite dish and it was actually one we didn't consider getting if it wasn't for one of the cooks reccomending us to try it and saying it was his favorite. The chive dressing was light and delicious, as well as the puffed wild rice was a nice additional crunch to the salad that made it enjoyable.
The portions were large enough that we felt stuffed after we ate. Perhaps my bf and I ordered the wrong things for our first visit. The cook there did reccomend us to try the burger, but we were hesitant that it'd be too much... but since the iceberg wedge he suggested was bomb, we expect that the burger may be as well, so we do plan to revisit and try it next time!
