| - Our lunch from the summerlicious menu was not that great. Maybe we should have gotten other items on the menu as we heard good things about this place before.
Location is great, it's just a few steps from Boardview station. We love the look of this restaurant with sleek and modern deco. There are three floors in the restaurant with four different dining areas:
First floor - bar & front, formal dining room in the back
Second floor - looked like a private party area
Third floor - rooftop patio (this is where we sat) with bar
Pork Chorizo: This was seasoned really well and the sides complemented the Chorizo nicely, but nothing special.
moked Char Croquette:I would have to say this croquette was a great start to my meal and also was the best thing I had here. If I had one complaint, it would be that I found the Russian salad on the side to be way too salty for my liking.
Smoked Canadian Sturgeon: served with Saffron rice, charred scallions and romesco sauce. The fish was overcooked as it was tough and dry. One side of the fish was too salty, again. However, the saffron rice and the romesco sauce was pretty tasty.
Charred Flank Steak: This was served with warm bacon, potato & dandelion salad and smoked tomato puree. I really enjoyed the bacon, potato and dandelion salad - it felt like I was eating spinach. MMM! I wasn't a big fan of the flank steak, it was too overcooked and tasteless.
Lavender White Chocolate Pudding : The pudding was yummy, although the presentation was disappointing. If you like pudding and creamy desserts, go for this!
Chocolate gelato slider was served between two chocolate chip cookies and toasted hazelnuts. Again, the presentation could have been better if not for the hot weather... the gelato was half way melted by the time it came to me.
