| - Firstly, I will start off with the goods. We were a party of 10 on a Sunday evening for summerlicious. Service was courteous and helpful. No complaints about the staff and service. That's all I could think of.
For the bads, serving of food was slow, but a kitchen backup happens to all restaurants. Now for $45, I expect fantastic and well cooked meals. My wife and I started off with the Caesar salad. Great taste, but for some reason my stomach started hurting after that plate was done. It's typical that my feeble stomach instantaneously tells me to go to the loo if I have eaten something bad. Can't blame the salad right? Three hours later my wife rushes to the bathroom with the same symptoms.... Main dishes come out, I ordered a NY strip medium rare with mashed side. The meat was flavoured well however was cooked at a medium. I enjoy cooking meat on occasion, and always do the firmness test, I knew this cut was medium just by the touch. OK, 10 dishes to make most likely my beef was cooking under the heat lamp while waiting for the other dishes. One friend also received a medium steak, when he asked for medium rare. There is no excuse for not knowing how to prioritize! For dessert I got the cheesecake, it was good but it appeared store bought.
This was my second time going. The first time was a few years ago and it wasn't good then. We had no choice for this dinner vowing to spend our next steak night at the keg. IMHO, this meal shouldnt be priced as high as the likes of north 44 or canoe for example. The quality and care for food is lacking, stop using frozen lobsters and store bought desserts! There is no interest or creativity in every dish to make me want to come back for more.
