  • In a frantic last minute search to land a dinner reservation for Valentine's Day we were lucky enough to secure a 6:00pm reservation at Brassaii. We arrived 15 minutes late but called ahead as a we were stuck in traffic. Parking was a cinch to find as street parking is available starting at 6pm so were able to score a spot right out front. We walked down the romantic cobblestone courtyard up to there signature red doors. We were welcomed by a pair of hostesses holding the door open followed by complimentary coat check. Another hostess offered us complimentary glasses of sparkling wine before leading us to our table. Since it was Valentine's Day they had a complimentary candy station and picture booth. We of course took part in the picture booth, dressing up with props and received the free photos at the end of our dinner. I thought that was a great idea, we had tons of fun doing that. We were seated a cozy table in the corner dressed fittingly with red table cloths and napkins and candlelight. Our waiter was really friendly and attentive the whole evening. After taking our orders he brought a basket of warm sliced bread and butter. For Drinks we went with two glasses of champagne - Moet et Chandon which is always delicious and bubbly. For starters we went with the house soup Butternut squash + pumpkin seed brittle + apple + parsnip The soup came in a huge bowl, very creamy and flavourful without being too heavy, and I loved the added crunch from the brittle For mains we both went with the striploin 16 oz Striploin - grilled + mushroom sauce + shallot + choice of one side The steak came beautifully plated in thick juicy slices. it was a humongous portion looked far more larger 16 oz, more than enough for one person. The steak was cooked perfectly medium-rare, nice tender cut and very flavourful. I also loved the sweet grilled shallots adorning the steak. For my side I went with the Brussels Sprouts + Pancetta Again another huge platter which was fitting for two people. The sprouts were lightly caramelized with bits of the diced pancetta giving it a nice porky flavour We also go also a side of the House Cut Fries + Parmigiano Reggiano + Aioli Again another huge portion. The fries were ok - very golden brown with a sprinkling of grated cheese over top, nothing more to it As if we weren't overly stuffed at this point I could not resist having a look at the dessert menu Pot Au Creme - Baileys Alunga Milk Chocolate + Dulcey Orange Tart + Coffee Sauce The pot au creme had that distinct bailey's flavour however I would have liked it to be slightly more chocolatey. The orange tart with coffee sauce was the clear winner on the plate - I was really hesitant that I would not like it all - coffee & orange? - however the flavours really complimented each other, the bright citrus flavour from the creamy tart and the sweet coffee sauce really worked well together. Overall I have to say Brassaii really did a great job in creating a romantic and memorable Valentine's Day. Food portions were very generous, staff were all very friendly and service was great from start to finish.
