| - When my friend suggested we make reservations at Weezie's, I was most certain that we were going to eat at a diner. A fancy diner that takes reservations, for real!
Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed how spacious the room was in comparison to many restaurants I've eaten at on the same strip. I appreciate having enough personal space when I'm dining so that I don't feel like I'm rubbing shoulders with my neighbours, and this was just that.
My friend and I started with 2 Apps: The Salmon Rillette, and Asparagus.
The Rillette was light and fresh, with the accompanying crostini providing the perfect amount of crunch. This is something I would order again. Translation: Someone get me a tub of Rillette stat!
While somewhat pedestrian, the Asparagus was good in preparation. They still had a bit of crunch, and had a nice charred flavour from the grill.
For mains, my friend had the Burger and Frites, while I had the Pappardelle.
Though my friend rarely eats red meat, I could tell that she really enjoyed what was in front of her. She demolished that bad boy like it was nobody's business. You go girl!
I borrowed a couple of Frites from her plate, and they were easily some of the best I've had in the city. Thin, and crispy with a lovely tarragon salt coating them. Just perfect.
The Pappardelle was simple but delicious. A true testament to the quality of the ingredients used in preparation. The grape tomatoes added just enough acidity to contrast the olive oil based sauce, while the pine nuts added a lovely contrast in texture amongst the ribbons of perfectly, and I mean perfectly Al Dente pasta.
My only feedback would be that as a main, the pasta was not substantial. I found that I had to pace myself so I wouldn't finish before my friend.
However you can tell that the Kitchen really cares about what they're putting out there based on the execution of these dishes. I would definitely come back when they've rotated their menu!
