| - From the '80s typeface on the front of the restaurant, you know that you have arrived....
At some kind of supper club where all the food contains copious amounts of olive oil. This menu is over the top, with lots of fussing around with the menu and ingredients. The food is quite rich--and unnecessarily so. The wine list is good and the prices are fair for what it is. Service is good, but the fusion of all the tastes is too much for me. You'll never know if your fish is fresh or the meat is rancid but hey, it's a party in here, so go and knock yourself out.
The décor seems to match all those wholesale bath and kitchen outlets in Vaughan, Mississauga or Markham. The designers used ceramic tiles with fake wood pattern, stone-chip tiles with downcast halogen lighting, deep leatherette booths, wood veneer panels, cheap lighting, et c. I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry but everything is clean and new--if that says anything.
