| - Carmelinaaaaa ... isn't that a song by Matthew Good? The song, not so good; however, the restaurant is VERY good. I'm confused by the low rating from others. Maybe they went on a bad day? Maybe I went on a good day? Maybe they're referring to the song? What matters is that both the hub and I liked it very much. The restaurant is close to home, but we were skeptical to go because of some of these reviews. My in-laws tried it and recommended it (and they are very picky). So we bought a couple of WagJag coupons and decided to try it. The hub ordered a halibut, salmon and shrimp on basmati platter, and it was delicious. I had the lamb risotto and I'm still craving for more; the rice was perfectly cooked, steaming hot (as it should be), and the meat was juicy and tender. The portions were big, and I could not finish mine. For dessert we had the tiramisu and it was really good too. Some may find it pricey but you are getting a lot for your money, and although it may not look like it from outside, it's nice and fancy inside. We were even serenaded by a nice gentleman playing the guitar (no, he was not singing Carmelina).
It's nice to know that we have a good Mediterranean restaurant in our city (Markham), we definitely recommend it, and we'll be returning soon.
